On her knees, the girl gorged on the thigh resting on the toilet bowl: an oversized drumstick that still had a trainer on. She snapped her head around, fixing him with a dazzling blue stare that rooted him to the spot. Rising, she strode forward, blood dribbling down her chin, bits of meat caught between pink, sharkish teeth. Daniel gripped the dry ceramic behind him, gripping until his fingers stung with pain. "V-Vampire," he blurted. Inches away, she smirked. "No. I'm Gabriella." Lonely and bullied at school, all twelve-year-old Daniel wants is a girlfriend. The mysterious girl at his local park seems like the perfect candidate. But when a jogger goes missing, Daniel discovers Gabriella's secret: she's a killer. One with a very unusual diet. Lovestruck with a girl who can help him finally stand up to his bullies, Daniel has everything he's always wanted. Can he really give it all up and turn Gabriella in? And does she love him enough to let him? THE DEVIL'S GIFT is the thrilling debut novella by London-based horror writer Joshua Robinson.
