The Wicker King is a psychological young adult thriller that follows two friends struggling as one spirals into madness.

When August learns that his best friend, Jack, shows signs of degenerative hallucinatory disorder, he is determined to help Jack cope. Jack’s vivid and long-term visions take the form of an elaborate fantasy world layered over our own—a world ruled by the Wicker King. As Jack leads them on a quest to fulfill a dark prophecy in this alternate world, even August begins to question what is real or not.

August and Jack struggle to keep afloat as they teeter between fantasy and their own emotions. In the end, each must choose his own truth.

So guys! What are your favorite alternate worlds/realities?! As for mine… does Panem count? What about the post-apocalyptic The 100? (That one is way too close to actually being real tbh.)

And seriously, how perfect does this book sound to read on Halloween? YAY!

    Oooh, I’ve been super interested in this one–now I’m even more excited! This sounds fascinating, like a perfect Halloween read for sure. Alternate world are so much fun, I’m definitely a huge fan of Coraline, the Sandman, The Chronicles of Narnia.. and I hardly ever see anyone mention The Key to the Kingdom series, so I’m happy to see that here! I’m also a big fan of Wonderland, so I’d have to add Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland there. Thanks for sharing this! 🙂

    I can’t believe your favorite is the freaking Hunger Games setting/the 100. YOU KNOW YOU COULD DIE IN THOSE? Man.

    Clearly I need to read More Than This because I LOVE ALTERNATE WORLDS AND REALITIES. This was honestly such a great prompt. Good job Holly 😛

    I suggest you write such kinds of posts daily to provide the audience enjoy me all of the
    necessary info. In my view, it is far better to be prepared
    for all of the unexpected scenarios in advance, so thanks,
    it was fairly cool.
