Watch out for the new installment of Joe Delaney's Spook's series.
S (supp. to Sunday Express)
Really impressed by [this] . . .genuinely creepy . . . very pacy . . .the characters were very believable.
Damian Kelleher, Radio 4 Front Row
The second volume in an excellent series... the author eschews the usual predictable weirdo fantasy settings and places the characters in a kind of olden-days Lancashire.
Islington Tribune
The story has an intense, creepy feel from the very start, and is full of darkly atmospheric scenes, which are it's great strength
School Librarian
Delaney's tale of the Spook and his apprentice deftly combine elements of horror with the idea of the wandering, despised hero, as popularised in the western and it's imitators. The Wardstone Chronicles remain one of the strongest ongoing series of the moment.
Write Away!
Thrilling tale.
