THEN
Whitby, winter 2016. Chaos. Emaciated corpses and the scravir on the streets of the old town during Goth Weekend. Daniel Murray saw Thor Lupei’s body burning in a castle in Romania as he escaped, stealing pages ripped from an ancient book.
NOW
What do the stolen pages contain, what language are they written in and why are the powers Lupei gave him now alarming Daniel? Can good intentions protect him from evil?
Daniel’s girlfriend Tiffany is getting on with her life in Whitby, but former Dutch policeman Gert Muyskens just can’t let go of the the trauma he witnessed ... and then mysterious deaths begin to happen again. Are the scravir back? Is Lupei really dead? Is Daniel involved in all of this? Where is Daniel?
C.M.Vassie’s acclaimed earlier work Scravir - While Whitby Sleeps was either total fiction or a dry but well-researched account of how it was that a group of skeletally-thin cadavers appeared in the town during Whitby Goth Weekend in the autumn of 2016. Take your pick.
This book is a continuation of that grim episode. An attention-seeking what happened next, as it were, running from place to place before perhaps settling back in Whitby’s old town where it all started. Or did not start.
The bodies continue to pile up, as bodies do in these grim tales. Have our heroes learned anything? Can you keep a bad man down? What is a bad man? Will the author answer these questions or continue toying with us?
Of the author, we know fractionally more than previously. They hang around on the North Yorkshire coast from time to time and, aside from the Scravir books, have produced other novels including The Whitby Trap, the Moon Pool series, and The Whale Bone Archers, a collection of frankly improbable short stories.
Not much to go on but it is a start. Of sorts.
