Allister Academy

Von Crowley came to attend the boarding school his father had before him. His father who was brilliant. A genius. And missing.

Befriended by a deceptively cheerful classmate he is invited to play Hide and Seek with the boy and his "girlfriend" in a dilapidated old school house on campus. The haunting old building that's scheduled to be torn down. The one that feels alive with the secrets of the past.

Then one day he heard the voices. The ones unlike those belonging to his friends. And he found them. And the little glass bottle that read "Drink me..."

The Books

Characters

Von Crowley: The protagonist. Von is a quiet, pedantic child attending school for the first time at the age of 11. He's uncomfortable in the presense of other people as he had been in the company of few people aside from his parents and servants and intentionally isolates his peers with his advanced knowledge and biting tongue. His father is currently missing but was a brilliant scientist, researcher, and author, and Von dreams of living up to the standards his father set.

He quickly attatches himself to Von's side, forming a codependent relationship with the other boy. He has a substantial crush on Kamryn Synthell, a girl he often boasts to Von he will one day marry.

Comments

This is my baby, my love, and my life. I began this story July 2, 2005. I started it as a short story but after I'd written the first few paragraphs I knew it would need to be a full length novel. And it has continued to blossom into a seven book magnum opus I hope to complete before I die.
