The Dead Boy

By Craig Saunders

This is England, and these are the Dead Days... England, now. A man with a dark soul is playing with people like pieces in a game. He is the man with fire in his eyes. A young child with a remarkable mind, a cold-hearted woman, and a policeman ruled by fear are all that stand in the dark man's way. In the Dead Days there are no winners, just unlikely heroes, the lucky, the unlucky...and the dead. This is England, and these are the Dead Days.

'A talent to keep an eye on.' - Eric S Brown, author of Bigfoot War

'Anyone who has read Craig Saunders knows that his words flow like blood from a severed jugular.' - Robert Essig, Author of Through the In Between, Hell Aw
