'The Wilds' 'The Bay' and James Herbert

 Hello all

 

I have now started work in earnest on my second novel. It is called ‘The Wilds’ and is a little different in style than my last novel ‘Beneath’, rest assured though it is most definitely a horror novel. It centres on a young man, Karl, searching for his brother who has gone missing …
