Far from the mainland lies a strange Victorian island town, built upwards over generations upon a steep and unforgiving landscape.

Its narrow streets, towering buildings and crooked rooftops climb towards a Clocktower that hasn’t moved in living memory.

Its hands are permanently fixed at eight.

Lankytown is home to five siblings — Dora, Benjamin, Edward, Edwin and Ethel — children who have grown up knowing its peculiar customs without ever fully understanding why they exist.

In Lankytown, children know to be home before eight. Doors are locked. Windows are fastened. And when darkness falls, there are some sounds it is better not to investigate.

But when the children begin questioning the rules the adults have taught them to obey, they uncover a history that Lankytown has spent generations trying to forget.

Lankytown is an original family-horror storyworld combining mystery, dark fantasy, adventure and macabre humour.

At its heart is a twelve-part saga spanning generations of the island’s history — from the origins of its curse, through the story of five children who uncover its secrets, to the ultimate fate of Lankytown itself.
