Backstreets

While the backstreets may have once been a thriving community, a refuge away from the noisy city where they could practice magic in peace, they've long since been abandoned. The winding streets are easy to get lost in if you do not know where you are going - and sometimes even when you do. They are shortcuts for the fortunate, escapes for the desperate, and dead ends for the rest. 

The few who do reside in them them are not the most pleasant. They may help, if you can handle the price. Cut a deal with caution, or you may never find your way out. 

Backstreets tells the stories of those who managed to find them. People stumble in very rarely, but those unlucky few that do are usually trapped within the labyrinth with no hope of ever escaping - at least, not unscathed.

About the author

Tanya Lisle

Tanya Lisle is a novelist from the Metro Vancouver, British Columbia who has series littered across genres from supernatural horror to young adult fantasy. She began writing in elementary school, when she started turning homework assignments into short stories and continued this trend well into university. While attending Simon Fraser University, she developed an appreciation for public domain crossovers and cross-platform narratives. She has a shelf full of notebooks with more story ideas than pens lost to the depths of her bag. Now she writes incessantly in hopes of finishing all of them.

​​​​​​​ Thankfully, her cat, Remy, has figured out how to shut off Tanya’s computer when she needs to take a break.
