The 10th anniversary reissue of STRANGERS is currently at the printers and will be hitting the shelves at the beginning of April. You can now pre-order both the hardcover and new paperback editions of the book. Pre-orders will be shipping ahead of publication, hopefully within the next two weeks.
As with all INFECTED BOOKS releases, when you order direct from www.infectedbooks.co.uk you’ll get access to an immediate download of a complementary eBook edition of the novel. I personally sign all orders, and if you’re in the UK, standard shipping is completely free.
EU friends, both new editions of the book will be listed on ETSY and EBAY as soon as they’re in our hands.
This reissue turned into something of a labour of love for me, which is the reason why publication has been slightly delayed. As I explained to newsletter subscribers in yesterday’s email, because the original novel is so focused on the family at the centre of the madness, I took this opportunity to write some additional material that explains a little bit more about the genesis of the ‘thing’ (I’m being deliberately vague) that causes all the bloody chaos in the book. Both of the new editions contain an exclusive short story, EPISODE 5, which delves into this weird bit of local history.
A spate of brutal murders rocks a small Scottish town. The bodies of the dead are savagely mutilated and unspeakably defiled. There are no apparent motives and no obvious connections between the victims.
Thussock is a close-knit community – a quiet, inward looking place where crimes like these never happen. People here treat outsiders with suspicion, and the killings only started when the Griffiths family arrived in town.
THERE’S EITHER A SERIAL KILLER PREYING ON THE PEOPLE OF THUSSOCK, OR SOMETHING FAR WORSE.
