'Lush and magical, creepy and shocking - Kerr is a born storyteller' Jenn Ashworth, author of Ghosted
'Has a potent phantasmagoric momentum' Locus Magazine
'Close in spirit to Alan Garner' Guardian
The pit towns of Northalbion are seething with protest and unrest ... and when townsfolk begin to turn up mauled, locals suspect the murderous and mythical Wolf of Whindale.
Caleb, banished for crossing a picket line, is forced to take work with pit owner and antiquarian Mr Siskin, who is in pursuit of an ancient artefact that may have magical properties. But searching for buried treasure in lonely places brings danger when there is a bloodthirsty killer on the loose - whether wolf, man or something else entirely...
Jacob Kerr is the author of The Green Man of Eshwood Hall. His writing is inspired by the North East of England, where he was born. After teaching English as a foreign language for many years, he now lives in Cumbria.
