From the author of the Amazon best-selling series, THE DARK CAROUSEL. PARACOSM will transport you to ghostly worlds only glimpsed in nightmares. Psychology Student, Zoe Cosgrove, arrives in the isolated West Virginian town of Bleath to study a strange phenomenon--a cluster of children who are experiencing paracosms (beliefs in imaginary worlds). The mayor of Bleath provides Zoe with accommodation at the empty Wilmont house. It's not the friendly farmhouse Zoe was picturing. Worse, she begins to doubt her own sanity when the house starts transforming itself. Late at night, scratching noises scrape along the staircase banister and inside the trinket box under her bed. And out in the wheat field below her bedroom window, ghostly figures wait . . . . Is Zoe slipping into an imaginary world of her own? Or are the things she's experiencing terrifying real? PARACOSM is a standalone novel. It is part of a wider world, having a deep connection to The Dark Carousel series. "This book is great on playing with your mind.... and for the last 20% I literally could not put the thing down. And the ending - it was NOTHING like I was expecting" - E.Maynard "A completely gripping and totally engrossing read from start to finish..." Brenda Telford

Review A completely gripping and totally engrossing read from start to finish - Brenda Telford This book is great on playing with your mind.... and for the last 20% I literally could not put the thing down. And the ending - it was NOTHING like I was expecting. It's rare these days that a book truly manages to surprise me, but this one did. Bravo, Ms. Allyn, Bravo indeed - E.Maynard *I loved how Paracosm twisted and turned in on itself - LilyFair*It was the perfect balance of creep factor and realism that has you sucked in from the very beginning.- Kboett3 *Wow, Anya Allyn went out of her way with this book, just pure craziness! - Tonya Lee Thomas*This is an amazingly creepy book that grips you from the very first page. It's suspenseful and just a beautiful story. I definitely see myself reading it again and again - FlightyInAGoodWay*I LOVED this book! I can't wait to read more of her work! I really found myself falling in love with the characters - all of them - and I can't wait to see where this series goes! - M.Wong*Paracosm was the perfect combination of creepy and realistic with a dash of fun. - Katrina
From the Author EXCERPTIn the mirror's surface, she saw someone at the bottom of the stairs, coming up toward her. A dark-haired woman in a long dress. The temperature of the air itself seemed to plunge. Zoe's mind spun in erratic patterns. She told herself to run, but her legs refused to function. The woman drew closer. The woman was close enough now that even in the dim light, Zoe could see her features. Her face was thin and elongated, with chalky skin drawn over sharp, prominent cheekbones. Two sweeps of dark hair curved from either side of a center part, caught up in a loose bun. It was her eyes that drew Zoe's attention--pale, almost colorless eyes that were fixed on Zoe. The eyes had the intensity of a predator's. As the woman neared the landing, she stopped. She raked the fingernails of her right hand along the bannister, a small smile playing at the edges of her lips. A patch of sweat formed on the back of Zoe's neck.She was alone in this house. Karstan wasn't here this time. She thought she was strong enough to face this. She was wrong.

Davidson I was introduced to the world of Anya Allyn through her Dollhouse series, some of which I loved, and some of which I thought was truly poorly written. I picked up this book as a recommendation from my Kindle Unlimited email, and didn't even notice the author until I was done and I was like, "Oh, okay, that's why the style was so familiar." In fact, I thought about the Dollhouse series when Zoe found herself working in a toy store in the book.Anyway, this book was just okay for me. Anya does a good job spinning a dark tale, and I like that. She writes eerie and suspenseful quite well. However, she has a difficult time making her characters consistent. She also seems to forget important information about what the character has learned at key times. This makes it frustrating for readers who are like, "Duh, it can't be him, she learned that earlier!"Another small issue I had was verbiage. If an author is going to write an American tale set in an American setting, then she they need to learn American verbiage. Words like carpark, have a go at him, and others disrupt the feel of the story because we wouldn't say that in the US. Just a little research could make a difference simply because it pauses the flow of the story.There's also the issue of Zoe's thesis. Honestly, when it came to her supposed college career and following thesis, it feels more like Zoe is a teenager and not an adult. She's unprepared, she decides to do this off the cuff and she's only going to interview four kids in an attempt to reach a conclusion about a large problem in a small town. None of that really jives for me.Like many of her books, this one could use a better proof reader. I'm not talking grammar here, I DO NOT have a problem with poor grammar unless it is super terrible. I don't care about missing commas and stuff like that. But there are several places where there are words missing, which causes a break in the story.I don't feel like it was a waste of time reading this story. It needs some improvements, but Anya has a great imagination. Her follow through still needs some tweaking, but I feel like she could be up there with the greats, like Stephen King and John Saul if she took some time to be consistent and did a bit of research. I'm not done with this author, she's got super promise!

This fantasy world may involve humans, animals, and things that exist in reality; or it may also contain entities that are entirely imaginary, alien, and otherwordly". Wikepedia.When twenty two year old Zoe Cosgrove decided to study a phenomenon called “paracosm” for her psychology thesis, her research took her to the small town of Bleath in West Virginia which reportedly housed a number of children who were experiencing paracosms. She was to stay for a month – had already organised it with the mayor of the town, Falco Montalban. But the small community of Bleath was to change Zoe in many ways…Installed in the Wilmont house where she was to stay for the duration, Zoe first met Karstan when he was doing some maintenance. A good looking young man, he promised to show her around town; show her the local attractions before she began her interviews. But the Wilmont house had Zoe uneasy; she couldn’t put her finger on what was wrong – she just knew something was not right.Gradually her unease turned to fear – she was seeing figures; knew they were malevolent, angry, even evil. And she sensed danger, especially for the children. What was Bleath? A town filled with innocent psychics, clairvoyants and hypnotists – or much worse? Or was it Zoe who was losing her mind?Wow! I was absolutely blown away by Aussie author Anya Allyn’s latest novel, Paracosm. A completely gripping and totally engrossing read from start to finish, it alludes to characters from the Dollhouse series, but that series doesn’t have to be read to read this one. And I’m thrilled Paracosm is the beginning of a new series as well. The ending will lead perfectly into the next book! I have no hesitation whatsoever in very highly recommending Paracosm to all.
7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. I did NOT see that ending coming By Lee Interesting plot line and characters. Zoe Cosgrove travels to the small, rural town of Bleath for research for a paper she's writing in college (and maybe also to run away from dealing with her recent break up with her cheating boyfriend). The town of Bleath has a high occupancy of psychics, but it's the children who have fantasized their own make believe world that interest Zoe. But nothing is as it seems in the town, as Zoe eventually learns. I did NOT see that ending coming. And even when I was got over the initial shock... I was surprised again on the last couple of pages. Definitely some creepy moments in this novel, which were made even creepier since I'm on third shift and did most of my reading in the middle of the night. =O
