Pyres by Kev Harrison
Angela has been a spirit painter for years. Channelling the spirits as they commit memories to canvas through her: childhood pets, favourite holiday locations, and sprawling homesteads. But now, something has changed.
The paintings take a dark turn just as her sister, Becky, returns from Italy. People burnt alive, their smouldering remains a vivid, visceral stain on Angela’s canvasses. Already disturbed, her life is thrown into turmoil when a right wing TV news presenter is found incinerated in a facsimile of her new painting.
As the artworks – and charred bodies – mount up, can Angela and Becky find out what’s happening, and how to stop it?
“Horror’s Kev Harrison is on fire with his latest novel, Pyres, a blistering murder mystery with echoes of Dorian Grey that compels with its artistry as much as its political commentary. Set in the New Forest and conjuring ancient gods, Pyres is darkly revelatory. Definitely make this your next read.”—Lee Murray, five-time Bram Stoker Award®-winning author of Grotesque: Monster Stories
“Kev Harrison ignites a flame in Pyres, spinning a tightly-paced supernatural mystery of family bonds and old gods, the narrative burning with political wrath.” —Beverley Lee, author of The Sum of Your Flesh and The Haunting of Wounded Birds
“Kev Harrison’s prose sizzles with both fury and eloquence. Pyres deftly dissects the state of our current world, righting some wrongs and inserting new nightmares into the mix. A book of smouldering excellence.” —Dan Howarth, author of Last Night of Freedom and Lionhearts
Shadow of the Hidden by Kev Harrison is an intense, action-packed horror novel. One that balances the need to tell an exciting story with some graphic horror scenes and a respect for the culture and region of the novel’s setting. Confession time, I smiled at the fate of the goats. I hate goats. They give me the creeps with their weird, slitty eyes.
Imagine Graham Masterton in his prime but without all the troublesome misogyny. – Jim Mcleod (GNoH) on Shadow of the Hidden
