As with the original e-books, Summer Falls and Angel's Kiss are billed as written by the fictional characters Amelia Williams (actually James Goss) and Melody Malone (actually Justin Richards), and Devil in the Smoke appeared to be credited to its actual author, Richards, however it was revealed in new material included in the anthology that he too existed in-universe, as an author whose works were read by a young Amelia.

The print edition is augmented by two short fiction pieces written by Goss: an untitled Introduction piece by Amelia Williams, and The Girl Who Never Grew Up, a magazine article from 1969 profiling Amelia. The ebook edition also included an about the authors section which gave details about the in-universe authors.

Publisher's summary

With a new introduction by Amelia Williams, as well as a rare interview with the reclusive author, The Girl Who Never Grew Up comes Summer Falls by Amelia Williams.

Summer Falls

In the seaside village of Watchcombe, young Kate is determined to make the most of her last week of summer holiday. But when she discovers a mysterious painting entitled The Lord of Winter in a charity shop, it leads her on an adventure she never could have planned. The painting is a puzzle — and with the help of some bizarre new acquaintances, she plans on solving it. (Inspired by the Doctor Who episode The Bells of Saint John)

The Angel's Kiss by Melody Malone

Detective Melody Malone has an unexpected caller: movie star Rock Railton thinks someone is out to kill him — and when he mentions the "kiss of the Angel", she takes the case. At the press party for Railton's latest movie, studio owner Max Kliener invites Melody to become their next star. But the cost of fame, she'll soon discover, is greater than anyone could possibly imagine. (Inspired by the Doctor Who episode, The Angels Take Manhattan)

Devil in the Smoke, as recounted by Mr Justin Richards

On a cold day in December, two young boys, tired of sweeping snow from the workhouse yard, decide to build a snowman — and are confronted with a strange and grisly mystery. In horrified fascination, they watch as their snowman begins to bleed...The search for answers to this impossible event will plunge Harry into the most hazardous — and exhilarating — adventure of his life. (Inspired by the Doctor Who episode, The Snowmen)
