News Round-up Week Ending 23 March 2018

Here’s a small selection of the horror and genre news that caught our eye during the last week …

ListenerPS Publishing announce new Robert McCammon novel The Listener, published by Cemetery Dance

Set in the period of the great depression in the context of the many hundreds of young people kidnapped at the time, The Listener, by Robert McCammon is the story of two deeply twisted people who kidnap two children. This is horror with strange elements, but one which contains nothing of the supernatural, instead focussing on the horrors that humans enact on one another. Often an altogether more frightening theme. As ever, the novel is presented in a lovingly crafted hardback with an understated cover. You can get hold of your copy for £25, here.
