What Stalks the Deep by T. Kingfisher (Paperback)

The next instalment in the New York Times bestselling Sworn Soldier series from T. Kingfisher sees retired soldier Alex Easton return, this time to investigate the dark, mysterious depths of a coal mine in America.

Alex Easton does not want to visit America. And they particularly, emphatically, do not want to visit an abandoned coal mine in West Virginia with a longstanding reputation for being haunted.

But when their old friend Dr Denton summons them to help find his missing cousin, a man who vanished into that very mine, well, sometimes a sworn soldier simply has to do what a sworn soldier has to do. Descending into the dark, Easton will once again find themselves confronting horrors that defy easy explanation, in a place where the shadows seem to hold far more than they should.

Atmospheric, eerie and threaded through with Kingfisher’s trademark wit, this is another gripping, dread-soaked outing for one of gothic horror’s most beloved characters.

Perfect for readers who love an atmospheric gothic horror, a chilling and claustrophobic mystery, and a wry, resourceful protagonist descending into the dark in search of the truth.
