Carly Reagon's showstopping second novel is I Let You Go by Clare Mackintosh if written by Susan Hill - a haunting, unbearably tense tale of oppression and survival.

Reagon C: Hear Him Calling

Hear Him Calling

'Truly terrifying' Chris Whitaker

By demonstrating the importance of horrific motifs in Greek and Roman epic, this book challenges existing conceptions of what an epic poem is and of what it means to engage with such a text. Taking the reader through canonical and less-well-known ancient epic, Brockliss argues that contrary to conventional readings, 'the horrific' is central to these texts. In fact, these poems dwell as much if not more on foul displays of human physicality as on depictions of a sublime heroism, prioritize psychological disturbance over tragic suffering, and set the intrusions of unquiet ghosts in tension with celebrations of the safely dead. This book thus offers a fresh perspective on a literary genre that is central both to ancient cultures and to the later western tradition. Alongside happy recollections of past glories, ancient epics offer readers a shocking and immersive experience that confronts them with the bare facts of human physiques and minds. Rather than focusing narrowly on the eminent achievements of a few, horror in epic offers an egalitarian portrait of what makes us human.

The Antlered King

Arthur Oakes is an outsider. His mother was protesting against the government's nuclear bombs, and something went wrong, and someone died. Now she is in prison. His father is long gone. Arthur spends his time lost in English mythology and unfulfilled dreams about the girls in his college. But one unintended incident - one moment of standing up for another underdog - leaves his mother in danger and him with orders to steal rare books from the college library. And the events that will unfold from that one moment of bravery will lead to slaughter. The gang of six use a book covered in human skin in an arcane ritual, and summon the evil dragon King Sorrow. They enter into a pact - he will kill the couple who have been terrorising the group by easter, in exchange for their worship. But dragons are not to be trusted, and now they must repeat the ritual every year - including choosing who he will kill... An epic, sprawling novel set in the 80s in Midwest America and going through to 2022 in England, with a massive cast led by six clever, damaged protagonists battling all manner of menaces, both supernatural and all too human.

The epic new masterwork from the international bestseller

King Sorrow

Internationally bestselling horror sensation Joe Hill is back with a dark and astonishing new thriller. Stephen King meets The Secret History in this sprawling nightmare spanning forty years of fear, sparked when six friends unite in one deadly pact, in 1980s Midwest America . . .

'A monster of a book, as gripping and wickedly insidious as the title character. Not a page is wasted along its scaly length, from human villainy to diabolical plots, government folly to the desperate search for redemption. A vast, brimstoned, relentless zinger' Nick Harkaway, SUNDAY TIMES bestselling author of THE GONE-AWAY WORLD 'KING SORROW is an epic that will linger with you long after the last page is turned, a timeless tale that's also a haunting time capsule. Joe Hill somehow delivers it all, from the terrifying to the hilarious to the heartbreaking. A relentless and thoughtful tour de force, KING SORROW proves Joe Hill is one of the great storytellers of our generation' Michael Koryta, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of AN HONEST MAN 'Joe Hill walks the tightrope between horror and fantasy with grace and menace. This is a tale infused with terror and hope' Robin Hobb, SUNDAY TIMES bestselling author of ASSASSIN'S APPRENTICE Arthur Oakes is an outsider. His mother is in prison, his father is long gone, so he spends his time lost in the legends of English mythology. Then one unintended incident - one moment of standing up for another underdog - leaves his mother in danger and him with orders to steal rare books from the college library. And the events that will unfold from that single act of bravery will lead to slaughter. Because his gang of six close friends, all outsiders, intend to use a tome bound in human skin in an arcane ritual to summon the notorious dragon-demon King Sorrow to kill their tormentors... They enter into a pact - King Sorrow will kill the couple who have been terrorising the group in exchange for their worship. But dragons are not to be trusted, and soon they realise this isn't just revenge. They must repeat the ritual every year - including choosing who their King will kill next... From 1980s Midwest America to 2020s England, King Sorrow is a game-changing horror novel with an unforgettable cast led by six clever, damaged protagonists battling all manner of menaces, both supernatural and all too human - unmissable for fans of Stephen King, Jordan Peele, and Leigh Bardugo.
