August 2018 Book of the Month | In a Nutshell: Mystery and monsters that emerge from the mist | Alexander is apprentice to Professor Cordite, the kind of man who “meticulously calculated possibilities” and looked “more like a highway man than a university Professor”. They have offered their expertise to Bleakhope, a village beleaguered by frightening creatures that emerge from the fog. A pervasive mood of fear and foreboding is evoked from the outset, with the daring duo enduring a supernatural encounter even before they reach the village.
And so this winding atmospheric tale twists and turns in unexpected directions, with the crisp, creeping sense of fear inviting some comparison with Joseph Delaney’s Spooks series. It’s a spine-chilling yarn, compact, yet teeming with untold terrors in classic gothic tradition. - Joanne Owen
