Unless you go where the roaches are … Available now in paperback, with other editions to follow, you can pick up your copy here.
A grand marble staircase prowls the night in search of passengers, Hidden Mothers whisper tales of the Wild Hunt to children carved from wood, a man is gifted candles whose flames do not dispel shadows but lure them . . . and that which lurks beyond. Such are the shapes of Otherness reflected in Nocturnal Mirrors. Across thirteen stories, Richard Gavin conjures liminal realms where the familiar is transformed by spectral and chthonic forces. Drawing upon the literary traditions of the Gothic, fin de siècle Decadence, and Surrealism, Nocturnal Mirrors gives form to the author’s conviction that our world is most vitally experienced when it is viewed through a glass darkly. Available for pre-order now in a signed hardcover, limited to 350 copies, Nocturnal Mirrors is expected to ship at the end of June, and you can guarantee your copy here.

Something is hunting the wytches of London.
After the horrors beneath the capital, Assandra Freyer is offered something she never thought she would have: a place to belong. A coven. A family.
But there is darkness lurking beneath the streets. One of their own has already vanished, and soon Assandra discovers that an old nightmare is real. A creature from whispered stories.
A monster that feeds on the blood of wytches.
Far to the north, Jack Bennett returns to Durham with his mentor, Howard Scott, only to find the Deathborn facing a nightmare of their own. The dead are rising, and a powerful new enemy is hiding in the shadows.
With old wounds reopened and new horrors unleashed, Jack and Assandra are drawn into separate battles against impossible evil. And not everyone will survive. Availble now in eBook and paperback, you can grab yours here.
