The Isle of Children

A dark fairytale of monsters, secrets, and survival…

Written in the haunting tradition of the Brothers Grimm, Guillermo del Toro, and classic gothic horror, The Isle of Children is a chilling blend of dark fantasy and contemporary horror that will linger long after the last page.

In the early 19th century, fourteen-year-old Carlos flees a brutal orphanage, only to be cast adrift at sea. When he awakens on a mysterious island, he discovers a grand palace filled with dozens of children—and a single figure they all call Father. But something is wrong here. The woods surrounding the palace hide a violent, ancient creature that hungers for fear… and for children.

Together with a brave girl named Isabella, Carlos must uncover the island’s terrifying secrets, confront the monster stalking them, and find a way to free the children before the isle devours them all.

Perfect for fans of dark fairytales, gothic fantasy, horror thrillers, and coming-of-age survival stories, The Isle of Children delivers a hauntingly atmospheric tale of courage, friendship, and the battle against ancient evil.

Deserves a real narrator

Don't let the virtual voice put you off. It of course would be a lot better with a real narrator, but it's a decent robot. The story is really good and worth the listen even though it's a robot.
