(previously published as Scrimshaw by Simon Paul Woodward)
Pirates rising from the grave. A Cornish village that may not survive the night. A boy fighting to save his dead sister’s soul.

A pirate deathling has trapped Tom in an impossible dilemma. Either he breaks a two-hundred-year-old curse, freeing the ghost and his crew to slaughter an entire village, or the ghost will damn his dead sister’s soul for eternity.
Tom blames himself for his sister's death. When he returns to Little Sickle, the village where she died, he’s shocked to learn that her soul is still imprisoned there. Now he has one night to face his guilt, uncover the village’s wicked past and rescue her from a crew of bloodthirsty, deathling pirates. Damnation or redemption will be his by dawn.
If you liked Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, The Graveyard Book or Skullduggery Pleasant, then you’ll love All The Dead Seas, book two of the Deathlings Chronicles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Your new favourite author.

Giving Scrimshaw anything less than 5 Stars would be sacrilege! As an avid reader I find myself increasingly critical of the books I read and it is rather rare for me to pick up a book and simply lose myself in it. Scrimshaw proved the rare exception. From its opening chapter and the tragic events that propel the story forward it continually gathers momentum whilst spinning a clever and haunting web of intrigue and mystery. I could imagine ghostly pirates and the seaside setting and all the characters became so real. I 'm a big fan of Mr. Woodward's books and always look forward to his next release.

I'd recommend this book because it is a fun read. If it were to have a moral I would say facing your fears and courage. Also learn to forgive oneself for past mistakes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Daphne du Maurier it ain’t.
Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2017
“Welcome to Tuesday the 23rd of October; the day I’ll kill my sister and start a war with the undead.”

From this startling, heart-stopping opening sentence onward, Scrimshaw is a book which grabs you by the scruff of the neck and launches you into a garish landscape of small town prejudice, secret smuggler’s passageways and teenage guilt, climaxing in a war with zombie pirates.

After the dramatic prologue, the story flashes forward six years and the main protagonist, Tom (a teenager with every right to be moody, truculent and uncommunicative), is reluctantly forced to return to the scene of his sister’s death: this time with his Dad, glamorous new step-mum and intensely annoying little step-sister.

They arrive in the sleepy coastal village of Little Sickle where weird locals, psychic skeletons and phantom pirates abound.

The thoroughly 21st century teenager Tom soon wikis his way through the internet and discovers his Dad has brought them to the most haunted village in Cornwall: as if those personal ghosts of his weren’t enough to deal with.

Things soon take a turn for the supernatural and nightmarish: as you won’t be surprised to learn if you’ve read any of this author’s previous work.

Who is the mysterious hulking man with the beard driving the white estate car in the nightmarish opening scene?

And the girl who tells his nine-year-old step-sister India about the ouija board in the attic?

The gorgeous local teenager with green eyes and the smell of fire and sea who shares the local folklore and takes him off into a honeycomb of hidden passages once used by pirates?

“Salt water falls from her mouth, vanishing before it touches me. Her lips are slick with it. A sliver of seaweed dangles from her chin. The little crab scuttles across her cheek and disappears into her right ear.... Her eyes hold mine, a tear falls, running down her cheek. It’s made of blood. She brushes it away, smearing it across her pale flesh. “

An excellent novella for teenagers with a stomach for gore. Daphne du Maurier it ain’t.

I enjoyed reading this book. It was very different, but interesting. It is most unfortunate when someone who deserves to live do not especially in a book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply superb story telling
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 5, 2017

As an avid reader of YA fantasy I feel that the genre invariably swings from the outstanding to the dross, with little in the way of original releases in the middle. It's an opinion that has caused me to abandon many books in their opening chapters, so when I pick up something that grabs my attention from the very first page I get excited.Scrimshaw is one such read. Classed as a novella it is well written, imaginative, and the momentum is persistent as Mr.Woodward draws us into his dark imaginings. Tempered with a little humour I laughed out loud a number of times in well-crafted scenes that are easy to visualize. A cracking ending tops it off and I have no hesitation in recommending Scrimshaw to readers who appreciate an exceptional ficton.

Pirates straddling life and death and hell bent of revenge. What a wonderful theme and it makes for an absolute corker of a story. Having already read All The Dead Things by the same author I had expectations for the writing and was again thrilled. Shorter, as it is very much in novella range, Scrimshaw is cleverly told story which effortlessly captures its setting and an immediate sense of history which makes everything seem so real. I raved on about All The Dead Things to friends and colleagues and I’ll be doing the very same with Scrimshaw!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good read!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 17, 2017

My weekend read and thoroughly enjoyed. I thought is was clever how tragedy gives rise to fame and I love the concept of Deathlings. I love the style of writing which is very distinct and think the story would have broad appeal amongst older readers as well as young adult readers. Either way, I loved the narrative style. It was both atmospheric and very visual.
No spoilers but I laughed out loud at the scene where a Deathling has a mobile phone land in his hair. Very good!

Tom, the teenage protagonist, is easy to root for in his dangerous quest for redemption.
After a family tragedy, Tom wants to shut himself off from the world but his fathers unexpected newfound fame throws him back into a world he's spent years trying to forget.
It's fast paced with plenty of twists, turns, thrills and spills and the pirate imagery will delight teenagers and adults alike.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 17, 2017

A great read, as the teenage hero Tom battles with pirate ghosts in a fog-bound sea-side village. As in all good thrillers, it's a race against the clock with unexpected alliances and more twists than an underground passage to the sea can manage. A great blend of traditional elements brought bang up-to-date with modern kids' concerns and perspectives.
