Description

With its brightly painted houses, tucked between narrow, cobbled streets, the sleepy Kentish seaside town of Deal was considered one of the most photogenic places in England.

Little did the population know that, one fateful summer, they would be visited by something far more horrifying than hoards of tourists; something that should never have existed, that craved only one thing...

Human flesh.

Reviews

"A spine-chilling story that had me hooked from the very first page. Once again, Coppel proves himself to be a master in the horror genre in this terrifying tale, reminding us that sinister creatures may be closer than we think." - R. N. Cogley, author of Gruesome Getaway

"Coppel delves into the history of Deal and re-purposes it into a contemporary horror in this gnawing claw of a nightmare tale that spurts blood, coughs up terror and leaves something lurking in the dark below." - Simon Marlowe, author of the Mason Made trilogy

"Coppel has artfully combined the supernatural horror genre with realistic day to day dramas that engulf believable characters, blending fictional and real locations together so convincingly that I found myself looking up one of his fictitious places as somewhere I might take my grandchildren!" - Tony Auffret, author of the Tufton Street Saga
