November 1st brings a sizzling mix of the occult and steampunk from debut novelist Richard Ford.
Kultus is “a steam-powered burlesque of brutal demonic action from the latest break-out talent from Solaris”.
The novel follows the adventures of Thaddeus Blaklok, a mercenary who is seeking a mysterious key for unknown benefactors.
However, he is not the only one, others are pursuing the artefact for their own despicable ends and Thaddeus soon finds himself pursued by bloodthirsty gangsters, deadly mercenaries and hell beasts, all determined to stop him.
In a lightning paced quest that takes him across the length and breadth of the steam-fuelled city of Manufactory, Blaklok must use his wits and his own demonic powers to keep the key from those who would use it for ill, and open the gates to Hell itself.
Wrapped in a beautiful cover by famous Batman and Robin comic artist Fraser Irving, this is an excellently fast-paced and fun novel that will keep you turning the pages until the end.
Richard Ford hails from the dark, windswept streets of Leeds in the grim north of England, but managed to escape to the idyllic Wiltshire countryside, where he can now be found frolicking by the Thames, drinking cider and singing songs about combine harvesters.
Kultus is “unlocked” on 1st November and is available now for pre-order on Amazon.
It will also be available as an ebook.
