Description
The first instalment of the William Lees trilogy:
'Underneath the soil, where the bones of the hanged men stood in their upright, unmarked graves... blood diffused through the ground to reach them. And, as it did so, something small and dark stirred among the dead.'
Prison can force you to face your demons. Sometimes though, you have to face more than just your own…
William Lees has been transferred to HMP Page. It’s an old prison, with even older secrets buried under its soil.
When a shocking act of violence takes place, something awakens. Something that thrives off bloodshed, that revels in violence. And it has seen Lees.
The Standing Dead is a tale of monsters, both the ones under our beds, and the ones that live in our heads.
Welcome to HMP Page.
What people are saying about The Standing Dead:
'Perfect for readers who enjoy Paul Tremblay's subtle, psychologically terrifying horror or Adam Nevill's folk horror, but creates its own unique niche in the field.'
'I've honestly never read anything like this before; it's as if a hard-boiled British crime thriller merged with a folk horror story. And it works!'
'The characters feel real with a good sense of building menace throughout'
'Wonderfully accurate with prison terminology and procedures but then mixed with chilling horror and spine-tingling imagery!'
'The Standing Dead is dark, claustrophobic, and seriously creepy in the best possible way.'
