The Ghosts of Sleath

Product Information

It's like a true horror film sequel, where we have to have everything bigger, bolder, gorier and expanded thousandfold, all for shock-sake. It covers everything that most horror fans could wish for including (but in no way limited to), violence, the unknown, zombies, murder, a very descriptive sex scene, rape, you name it. As Ash uncovers the backstory to this particularly cutting storyline, the oppressive and dark atmosphere of the novel suddenly shifts up a gear or two. He's still cynical, but he's aware that sometimes, the ghosts are not just unquiet memories or hoaxes. Ash finds that Sleath is spiritually dominated by the Lockwood clan, whose evil goes back to the Crusades, black arts imported from Egypt, and whose members more recently gave birth to the Hellfire Club.
