"Gary McMahonâs one of the darkest â which is to say brightest â new stars in the firmament of horror fiction.â
RAMSEY CAMPBELL
Thomas Usher has a terrible gift. Following a car crash in which his wife and daughter are killed, he can see the recently departed, and itâs not usually a pretty sight. When he is called to investigate the violent death of the daughter of a prominent local gangster, Usherâs world is torn apart once more. For the barriers between this world and the next are not as immutable as once he believed.
The award-winning GaryMcMahon's new novel series recasts horror in terms of a gritty police procedural, like The Wire in the Blood meets The Ring.
âGary McMahonâs horror is heartfelt, his characters flawed and desperate, and this book is a rich feast of loss, guilt, and redemption. His vivid ideas are given life in beautiful prose, and the book leaves you staring into shadows that werenât there before. His talent shines, and is set to burn brighter still.â
