Grendel Wept

Bol

"A relentlessly haunting tale that overflows with mood and style."-Kirkus Reviews "The ultimate impact is nothing short of sensational".-D. Donovan, Sr Reviewer, Midwest Book ReviewDefrocked archæologist Dr Julian Corbin seeks amid dead things for signs of the unspeakable Other. Alien dreams and waking visions of lost civilisations haunt him, his steps dogged by a serial killer, leaving grisly murals in their wake. But as the death toll grows, Julian doesn't know if he is hunted or led, dreaming or awake, innocent or stained with blood...Grendel Wept leaps forth from a literary tradition started by the surreal Hermeticsim of Poe and Machen; the ill-starred Gothic of Byron, the Shelleys; and the twilit fin de siècle of Wilde and Maldoror. It is the struggle of Man and the cosmic Other, juxtaposed with Man's struggle against himself, first spelled out in the earliest oral myths of Titanian cosmology, now given novel form.
