“Eleanor West’s Home for Wayward Children offers a respite for kids returned to our reality after adventures elsewhere. After Nancy arrives, exiled from her own version of fairyland—the Underworld, gruesome murders commence. Crackling with all the enchantment of the classic tales of 'wayward children', like Alice or the Pevensies, with a delicious darkness all its own, Every Heart a Doorway will have you looking around every corner - for imminent death or for a door to another dimension... ”

“Have you ever wondered what happens when you go to Wonderland and come back to the mundanity of teenage existence? Every Heart a Doorway asks that question, answers it, and inverts it all in a fantastic opening novella that sets the foundation for the stories of would-be heroes who have homes in other worlds but are so often forced to confront the bittersweet life on their world known as Earth. This book remains one of my favorites in the overall Wayward Children series, setting up a now eleven book series exploring what it means to be the hero in our own story.”

Winner of the Hugo Award, Hugo Award for Best Series, Alex Award, Locus Award, and Nebula AwardNominated for the World Fantasy Award, British Fantasy Award, and Tiptree Honor List"A mini-masterpiece of portal fantasy — a jewel of a book that deserves to be shelved with Lewis Carroll's and C. S. Lewis' classics" —NPRNew York Times bestselling author Seanan McGuire presents a fresh take on the portal fantasy genre that blends Alice in Wonderland, The Magicians, and The Nightmare Before Christmas.Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children No Solicitations No Visitors No QuestsChildren have always disappeared under the right conditions; slipping through the shadows under a bed or at the back of a wardrobe, tumbling down rabbit holes and into old wells, and emerging somewhere... else.But magical lands have little need for used-up miracle children.Nancy tumbled once, but now she's back. The things she's experienced... they change a person. The children under Miss West's care understand all too well. And each of them is seeking a way back to their own fantasy world.But Nancy's arrival marks a change at the Home. There's a darkness just around each corner, and when tragedy strikes, it's up to Nancy and her new-found schoolmates to get to the heart of things.No matter the cost.The Wayward Children SeriesBook 1: Every Heart a DoorwayBook 2: Down Among the Sticks and BonesBook 3: Beneath the Sugar SkyBook 4: In an Absent Dream
SEANAN McGUIRE is the author of the Hugo, Nebula, Alex, and Locus Award–winning Wayward Children series, the October Daye series, the InCryptid series, and other works. She also writes darker fiction as Mira Grant. Seanan lives in Seattle with her cats, a vast collection of creepy dolls, horror movies, and sufficient books to qualify her as a fire hazard. She won the 2010 John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer, and in 2013 became the first person to appear five times on the same Hugo ballot. In 2022 she managed the same feat, again!
