My fifth novel, coming in December 2016.
"A creeping, unsettling story of folk horror set in the north west of England, The Feast of All Souls is a thoroughly British tale in the finest traditions of Alan Garner and Graham Joyce."
The suburb of Crawbeck, on a hill outside Manchester, overlooks the
woodlands of Browton Vale. Alice Collier was happy here, once; following
her daughter’s death and the breakdown of her marriage, she’s come
back, to pick up the threads of her life.
378 Collarmill Road looks like an ordinary semi-detached house. But
sometimes, the world outside the windows isn’t the one you expect to
see. And sometimes you’ll turn around and find you’re not alone.
John
Revell, an old flame of Alice’s, reluctantly comes to her aid. The hill
is a place of legends – of Old Harry, the Beast of Crawbeck, of the
Virgin of the Height and of the mysterious Red Man – and home to the
secrets of the shadowy Arodias Thorne.
Alice’s house stands at a gateway between worlds. On the other side
of it, something has woken. And she and John, alone, stand in its way...
You can now pre-order The Feast Of All Souls here.
