Helene, a disillusioned lone parent, lost her brother, Lincoln, six years ago. But when a vast hoard of human remains and prehistoric artefacts is discovered in nearby Brickburgh, a hideous shadow engulfs her life. Lifestyle journalist Katrine escaped past traumas by moving to a coast renowned for seaside holidays and natural beauty. Ancient rites, old deities and savage ways can reappear in the places you least expect. The Reddening is an epic story of folk and prehistoric horrors, written by the author of The Ritual and three times winner of The August Derleth Award for Best Horror Novel.One million years of evolution didn't change our nature. Nor did it bury the horrors predating civilisation. They were involved and condemned before they knew it. But to save themselves and those they love, and to thwart a crimson tide of pitiless barbarity, Kat and Helene are given no choice. A timeless supernormal influence that only the desperate would dream of confronting.
A rural idyll where outsiders are unwelcome and where an infernal power is believed to linger beneath the earth. Amidst rumours of drug plantations and new sightings of the mythical red folk, it also appears that the inquisitive have been disappearing from this remote part of the world for years. Upon the walls, images of their nameless gods remain. A site where early humans butchered each other across sixty thousand years. Disturbing subterranean noises he recorded prior to vanishing, draw her to Brickburgh's caves. Nor did it bury the horrors predating civilisation. One million years of evolution didn't change our nature.
