"The Supernaturalist" is set in the
not-too-distant future, in a place called Satellite City, where
thirteen-year-old Cosmo Hill has been orphaned, dipped in a vaccine vat and
sent to the Clarissa Frayne Institute for Parentally Challenged Boys. There the
orphans are put to work by the state, testing dangerous products that should
never be allowed near human beings. Cosmo knows that he must escape, even
though he has no idea what might be outside, and plans for the moment when he
can make a break. When that time finally comes, he nearly dies while escaping.
He can feel his life force ebbing away, sucked out of him by a strange
translucent blue parasite. But he is rescued by the "Supernaturalists" - a
motley gang of kids who all have a special psychic ability and are dedicated to
ridding the world of the tiny, supernatural creatures who feed on the life
force of humans. When they realise that Cosmo also has the ability to see these
creatures, they enlist his help... |
