'Stories from the Towers of Stone and Steel' is a new collection of stories for adults and young adults. Whereas most fairy tales start in enchanted woods and flowery meadows, these stories are set in town and cities: Fantastical cities in the desert, the dark of modern day alternative London nightclubs, and locations in India and Japan. Written and illustrated by Jason Buck, storyteller and performer, these stories were first written for telling aloud, and have all been performed to live audiences. Drawing on traditional themes and introducing new ideas, these are original stories from the towns and cities of the world with folklore monsters, romance, wishes to grant our dreams, and horrors that lurk.

"Jack ... I will give you and your descendants good lives ... but they must return to me in two thousand years and bring me their stories in your blood." Inspired by testing on Jason's ancestral DNA, the journey starts with Jacobus, a young Greek boy, growing up in Roman Italy, and follows his descendants as they migrate across borders, nations and centuries, to the present day. Each story is an original piece, using mythologies of the times and regions, across the nations and across the ages. 12 stories from across Europe and North Africa, from Roman times to the battlefields of WWI.
