Join us for a full-length, but partly mouse-sized, adventure into Nostalgia, Forget, and the mysterious world of The Between.
The story
It could have been a straightforward heist caper. Two human worlds intent on outwitting each other. Black and white versus technicolour. But, sometimes, the real story lives between the lines. And in this case so do the mice.
They’re supposed to be keeping the peace between Nostalgia and Forget. But, crouch down, peer into the half-chapters, and you’ll find misplaced heroism, reckless ambition and a tragic betrayal.
Thanks to the good intentions of Hazel Dormouse, the murine Very Civil Service is at breaking point. The fabric of existence is under threat. Is there any way back from the brink… for the humans, or the mice?
The magazine
The Between: One novel, two stories, released fortnightly in serial form.
Each PDF mini-magazine includes a chapter from the book, a special feature, and an interview with a member of the Twitter writing community.
The Between was originally released as a subscription magazine. It’s now available free of charge, and we’ve donated all subscription proceeds to the World Literacy Foundation and Médicins Sans Frontières. If you download and enjoy the magazines, we’d be delighted if you could donate to one of these charities too. Thank you!
