Cover Art  Ben Baldwin
Introduction  Rio Youers

It started off like any other day, but for the tourists, staff and workmen at Willerton Castle it will end in terror. Because a storm is coming, a storm like nothing anyone has ever seen. A storm that will herald an attack by creatures this world has never encountered before. Will any of them survive? This new short novel of monstrous horror by the bestselling and award-winning author of Monsters (a British Fantasy Award finalist), the sellout Hooded Man and the award-winning Sherlock Holmes and the Servants of Hell, Paul Kane, comes with an introduction from Rio Youers (The Forgotten Girl, Halcyon) and cover art by Ben Baldwin.

“Paul Kane is a first-rate storyteller, never failing to marry his insights into the world and its anguish with the pleasures of phrases eloquently turned.”   Clive Barker —Bestselling author of The Hellbound Heart, Abarat, Mr B. Gone & The Scarlet Gospels)   

“Kane finds the everyday horrors buried within us, rips them out and serves them up in these deliciously dark tales.”   Kelley Armstrong – Bestselling author of Bitten, Haunted, Broken, Waking the Witch, Spell Bound and Thirteen)

“I’m impressed by the range of Paul Kane’s imagination. It seems there is no risk, no high-stakes gamble, he fears to take…Kane’s foot never gets even close to the brake pedal.” Peter Straub – Bestselling author of Ghost Story, Mr X, Lost Boy Lost Girl, and In the Night Room)

“Paul Kane is a name to watch. His work is disturbing and very creepy.”   Tim Lebbon – New York Times bestselling author of The Cabin in the Woods, The Silence and Relics)

“His stories not only, at his best, put him neck and neck with Ramsey Campbell and Clive Barker, but also in the company of greats like Machen and MR James. You don’t rest easily after reading a Paul Kane story, but strangely your eyes have been somewhat opened.”   Stephen Volk – BAFTA winning screenwriter of Gothic, Ghostwatch, Afterlife, The Awakening and Midwinter of the Spirit; author of Whitstable, Leytonstone and The Parts We Play)
