This author has been recommended by some of our biggest British horror writers. So of course I should purchase it, yes?
-The blurb-
Jack finished university three years ago, but he's still stuck in a dead-end job in a sinister call-centre in Manchester. When the beautiful (and rich) Jennifer comes into his life he thinks he has finally found his ticket out of there. Trouble is that his boss is interested in Jennifer as well, and there's something strangely bestial about him...So when Jennifer buys Fell House, a mysterious old mansion out in remote Cumbria, a house party on a legendary scale seems like the perfect escape. But as the party spins out of control on a seemingly neverending night, they must face up to the terrifying possibility that not all their guests may be human - and some of them want to feed. An astonishing and innovative blend of horror, folktale and disturbing realism, The Leaping is the first instalment in what is shaping up to be a genre-defining series.

Good to see the werewolf novel making a comeback. Let's hope this means that the soppy 'paranormal romance' vampire genre is on its way out...

Hi Gary, It's good to see you haven't forgotten BHN. Please carry on writing about dead, bad things by the way.
