Superworld
Original novel now in paperback, ebook and audio
Matt Callaghan is in trouble. In a world where everyone has superpowers, he's got squat, and has spent the last five years faking being clairvoyant just to avoid getting caught. Unfortunately, Matt's lies have started to catch up to him, and when a desperate bluff backfires he'll need every ounce of cunning, conning and juvenile delinquency to stay undetected and alive.
Jane Walker is trouble. In a world where everyone is powerful, Jane stands alone and apart, hated for her ability to copy abilities and atrocities far beyond her control. But fate is a fickle friend, and a chance encounter soon finds Jane hurtling towards her lifelong dream - or prejudice, humiliation and a violent, painful death.
A loving homage to and twist on the superhero genre, Superworld is a fun, subversive story about identity, empathy, connection and courage which has been called “very entertaining and creative” and “an absolute pleasure”.

“Reading Superworld was my highlight of 2021”
—Pejhman, AUS
“Finished the audio book at 1.30am, there was no way I was putting it down until I’d finished it.
What a delight, I’d found a new series to read and another author to follow.”
“A great debut for Keyworth that creates a tantalizing world brimming with enough potential to keep you enthralled and enough character and heart to make the story come alive.”
“Start walking down the path the author leads you on and you’ll find you’ve read this book in one sitting!”
