Vroege RecensentenRamsey Campbell

Robert wakes up on the Welsh side of the Severn Bridge with no memory of who he is or how he got there. Determined to reclaim his identity, he embarks on an odyssey through the country of Wales, bearing witness to the stories both the people and the land itself feel moved to tell him. Every new tale brings him one step closer to learning the truth about himself.

John Llewellyn Probert has written a gripping romp of a book, a portmanteau novel steeped in the myths and secret tales of his native Wales. A deeply unending compendium of the sinister that draws the reader inexorably forward, as we share in Robert's quest to discover the truth, wherever that may lead.

The novel features an introduction by master of horror Ramsey Campbell and several internal illustrations by cover artist Elena Betti.

“Well done to it and its author! He brings a feast of wonders and horrors and I’m just the greeter at the door. Welcome and be seated, if you aren’t already. Here comes the first course, and before long you’ll be replete with imagination.” – Ramsey Campbell in his introduction.

Don't dream of taking off from Dry Plains International Airport. Board a jetliner and you'll risk more than your life. Cut yourself shaving in the terminal washroom, and you'll draw the blood-hungry legions that vigilantly guard their domain. For Dry Plains was built in the sun-blasted heart of nowhere, over the bones of a sacred, wrathful people. Their time of vengeance is now. Their victims die alone, wearing the face of torture. And their glorious, terrible madness is poised to fly out into the world. Includes stories by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, Nancy Baker, Kathryn Ptacek, Lawrence Watt-Evans, Dawn Dunn, Steve Rasnic Tem, Brian Hodge, Nancy Kilpatrick, Chet Williamson, Charles Grant, and others.
