The Wicker King is a psychological young adult thriller that follows two friends struggling as one spirals into madness.

"An eerie and mesmerizing thriller that questions the space where reality and perception overlap, The Wicker King is a spine-tingling read that will have you riveted." --Caleb Roerhrig, author of Last Seen Leaving and White Rabbit

Jack once saved August's life . . . now can August save him?

August is a misfit with a pyro streak and Jack is a golden boy on the varsity rugby team--but their intense friendship goes way back. Jack begins to see increasingly vivid hallucinations that take the form of an elaborate fantasy kingdom creeping into the edges of the real world. With their parents' unreliable behavior, August decides to help Jack the way he always has--on his own. He accepts the visions as reality, even when Jack leads them on a quest to fulfill a dark prophecy.

August and Jack alienate everyone around them as they struggle with their sanity, free falling into the surreal fantasy world that feels made for them. In the end, each one must choose his own truth.

Written in vivid micro-fiction with a stream-of-consciousness feel and multimedia elements, K. Ancrum's The Wicker King touches on themes of mental health and explores a codependent relationship fraught with tension, madness and love.

Super chewer approved
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Large
One of the few safe chewy bones for a super chewer. Very durable, an appropriate price, and a good size for our 70lb pitty.

The best toys for dogs I could ever find
Size: X Large
I have bull terriers. They chew wood for fun... But this brand in the appropiate size and in any shape has been the best thing for them! They last for a very long time (they have not even dented them and they've had one (another shape) for the last two years. Now I bought these bones so that they can play together, each graving one side of it. They have so much fun! They are worth every penny.

Best chew toy
Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
Kong toys are the best. They hold up through the heavy chewing stage. Definitely recommend if you have a heavy chewer.

Not for aggressive chewers
Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
My dog absolutely loved this Kong Goodie Bone at first and was super excited about it. Unfortunately, it didn’t hold up nearly as long as I expected. Within just a few hours she had already torn pieces off of it, and I ended up finding little red rubber pieces all over the house. I wouldn’t recommend this for aggressive chewers at all. It may work better for lighter chewers or dogs that are gentler with toys, but mine destroyed it way too quickly. Disappointing because she really did enjoy it while it lasted.

Very sturdy for good chewers
Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
My dog loves this. Shes a boxer Old English Bulldog mix and she’s a hard chewer. We put Kong treats in here when we leave and she’s on it in no time
