An ominous burning cloud covers the skies across the entire world. Scientists speculate on its origins and its purpose. Panic starts to spread like a disease as people prepare for the worst.
Within the relative security of the manor’s walls, the first-born begin to come to terms with their true identity, all accept Jerrico, who soon discovers that Cradleworth has enslaved his home town of Walton.
Meanwhile, Kaleb convinces Celeste to allow him to take on an important but dangerous mission, one which could reveal Cradleworth’s end game.
In this fast-paced sequel to Sanctuary 12, the fallen gods must go head to head with their evil nemesis in a battle to prevent ultimate destruction.
The Fallen Gods Saga combines classic horror, sci fi and urban fantasy. The idea spawned from the author’s love of 70’s and 80’s horror. Like all good horror of that era, it deals with themes such as unrequited love, loneliness, transcendence, death, rebirth and transformation.
Other titles in the Fallen Gods Saga – Fallen Gods: Sanctuary 12, Book 1 Fallen Gods: Mind Over Matterless, Book 3 - coming 2014
I’m 40 years old and live in Staffordshire in the UK. I’m as much in love with the world of film as I am with literature. My tastes are varied, but the horror genre feeds my imagination the most.
I regularly attend Film 4’s Frightfest film festival in London, and have met some of my heros and heroines there. I’m hoping one day to meet my all time favourite author, Clive Barker...we’ll see.
Until then, I’m working hard on my horror/fantasy trilogy, the Fallen Gods Saga. Book 1, Sanctuary 12, and Book 2, Fallen Gods: Infanticide, are available now. The final instalment, Fallen Gods: Mind over Matterless is my current project and should be ready early 2015.
I have several more projects lined up, including Fallen Gods Origins and a possible comic book! I hope you will find something you like within my work. If you like your romance dark and bloody, why not try my novella, The Last Cut is Always the Deepest.
One of the biggest tragedies in modern fiction is the lack of strong female characters. I don’t subscribe to this idea that a strong female in fantasy has to jump around doing martial arts in a tight costume. My female characters distinguish themselves by having a strong moral core, and being able to think under pressure without giving in to fear-induced aggression. I hope my characters offer something a little different for both female and male readers.
You may find my love for monsters quite apparent in my books. That’s because I adore them. We are all monsters in the end, aren’t we? Some beautiful, some not so much.
I would be very interested to speak to you, even if it’s just to talk about horror in general. Feel free to follow me on Twitter or drop a comment on my website. Take care until then, fellow monsters.
Really creepy book and I loved it! The storytelling is impeccable, hypnotizing, and the suspense is unrelenting. Now, I'm going to have to read the next book!
A good read with lots going on and a cast of characters you either love or hate. An interesting dark read that keeps you reading until there is no more pages to turn. Great read!
