I’m absolutely thrilled to report that a writer I really admire, Joseph Delaney of the Spooks books fame, has read and enjoyed Witchfinder 2: Gallows at Twilight! So much so, in fact, that he’s agreed to give the sequel a cover quote! And here it is -

You can click on the image for a larger view, but Joseph says -

‘I felt at home in this scary world: I wish I’d written this book myself!’

It’s a huge honour to receive a quote like that from a writer whose work I enjoy and respect so much – thank you, Mr Delaney!

Witchfinder 2 is published just after the Christmas holidays, on Thursday 6th January. In the meantime, here’s the back cover blurb…

The Demon Father has escaped from hell and walks among us, his trident symbol branded into the earth in countries all over the world. A scorching beacon. A call to arms. A sign that war is coming.

Meanwhile, Jake is struggling to harness his powers and live up to his reputation of the boy who closed the demon door. But now he must push all doubt aside. To stop the Demon Father Jake must change the course of history – embark on a treacherous journey deep into the past and into another dimension, filled with horror and pain. A place where innocent people are tried and tortured. A place where the law of the Witchfinder rules.

Let the rushes be lit for there will be gallows at twilight.
