Pendulum Days: Purgatory: Book II

by Mark Ryan

With his leg now in a cast and confined to his bedroom, Zach delves deeper into the mysterious book his best friend Grace recently found in her attic. But the strange set of circumstance he has found himself in only grow when he starts to hear strange noises in his own attic, added by odd names on his wall and magical items in an old box. Feeling isolated and alone, the lines between the stories he’s reading and those taking place around him begin to fuse together even further.


Who is the old man in Lore house, how did
Zach get home that day, what are those strange objects in the attic….is any of this real?


Continue Zach’s adventures in the second book of the Pendulum Days series, Book II - Purgatory.

About the author

Mark Ryan was born in Oxford, growing up in the shadow of the dreaming spires. He studied film at London Metropolitan University, graduating to M.A in Film Theory.

He has published collections of poetry with ‘Echoes in Space’, ‘Graffitied Heart’ and ‘Drifting in and out of sleep’. ‘Keep it together’ is his contribution to the murder mystery arena as well as his short story collection, ‘Impermanence of things’.

‘The Gospel of No one’ is a poetry fiction hybrid novel, focusing on religious imagery and the inner workings, and broken pieces, of the soul.

His work leans, bends and sways to the metaphysical and supernatural, with a tendency to dabble in the macabre. Questioning questions and searching for answers in the eye of the storm, where there is always hope.
