Produktbeschreibung
In the quiet English countryside, an unseen horror has begun to stir. When a chemical spill seeps into the river outside Harrow’s Edge, it mutates the larvae of the local Billy Witch beetles into something far more dangerous. What begins as a few strange sightings soon erupts into a nightmare, as the newly-evolved beetles swarm the town, attacking anything in their path.
Dr. Lewis Harding, a reclusive biologist, tries to warn the authorities, but no one listens—until it’s too late. The beetles multiply at an alarming rate, their aggression growing deadlier with each passing day. As the townspeople begin to fall victim to the unstoppable swarm, panic grips Harrow’s Edge.
Sergeant Jane Wilkins, struggling to maintain order, and Harriot Caldwell, an investigative journalist uncovering a dark government cover-up, find themselves in a desperate battle for survival. But as the beetles continue to evolve, the true scale of the threat is revealed. Can the town’s last defenders stop the swarm before it consumes them all?
From the depths of terror, Billy Witch is a fast-paced, bone-chilling horror tale that will make your skin crawl. Perfect for fans of Shaun Hutson and the classic creature horrors of the 1980s, this novel will grip you from the first page and refuse to let go until the final, bloodcurdling moment. Are you ready to face the swarm?
This is a horror story you won’t be able to forget.
Autorenporträt
Blake Patrick brings nearly three decades of frontline police experience to the literary world. Serving as a bastion of law and order in the UK for 29 years, Blake dedicated his career to the pursuit of justice, not only as a detective unravelling the intricate webs of criminal minds but also as a Family Liaison Officer, providing a compassionate bridge between the force and the families touched by tragedy and crime. Retiring the badge, Blake has since brandished the pen, channelling years of amassed knowledge, humanity, and street-smart wisdom into writing. Although this passion for storytelling was always a flickering flame throughout their policing career, it has only recently roared to life with the completion and publication of their works. This newfound courage to share stories comes from the very essence of a life spent in service to others and a personal milestone of triumph over the daunting vulnerability of creative expression. Blake's works are a unique blend of gritty reality and the rich, complex tapestry of human emotion, informed by an intimate understanding of crime's impact on people and society. Each narrative is not only an act of exploration but also a tribute to the resilience of the human spirit, often exploring themes that resonate deeply with readers from all walks of life. Married for 39 years, Blake's personal life is as rich and fulfilling as their professional one. Together with their spouse, they have nurtured a family that has grown to include two children and three grandchildren, creating a strong, loving foundation that has undoubtedly influenced Blake's writing. Often, it's within the animated discussions and suggestions from these family members that seeds for stories are planted. Whether it's delving into subjects of personal intrigue or taking up the gauntlet thrown by a family member's curiosity, Blake approaches writing with the same fervour and commitment once reserved for solving cases. Readers can expect a journey through pages that not only enthral but also enlighten, crafted by someone who has not only observed life from the sidelines but has been an active participant in its most challenging arenas. Blake's books promise to be a sanctuary where the thrill of the chase, the depth of human connection, and the subtleties of life's intricate narratives converge.
