At an old
manor house on a remote Scottish island, six managers of a large
corporation arrive for a week-long stay. Within days they will all suffer
horrifying deaths and their bodies will never be found. The government
assigns the case to department 18, the special unit created to investigate
the supernatural and the paranormal. However this is no mere haunted
house. The evil on this island goes back centuries, but its unholy plots
and schemes are hardly things of the past. In fact, while the members of
Department 18 race to unravel the island's secrets, the forces of darkness
are gathering ... and preparing to attack. |

& Sims have proven their ability to effortlessly put horror readers
through the wringer time and time again. This is real, unapologetic scary

it
again! Turn down the lights,
lock the windows, curl up by the fire, and prepare for a long night...”

their slick style and eye for the macabre, Maynard and Sims take their

both uniquely entertaining and profoundly disturbing."

“Black Cathedral” is an exciting adventure in the dark fantastic, a dark
and twisted “Mission: Impossible”. With this opening tale, Sims and
Maynard have crafted an attention grabber that's exciting and frightening.
Like The Dresden Files, Department 18 and Robert Carter are sure to
attract a loyal following. Shroud Magazine
“This
is a must read book and one I found hard to put down. It reads fast but
satisfying. It is horror but with real people in it. I think Department 18
is going to do really well, and would make a great network series on TV."
“…elegant and
intelligent horror that smiles benignly while sliding icy daggers deep
into the bone marrow just to watch the blood pool and grow black,
combining psychological and visceral horror into a new and unforgettable
pattern.”
“A creepy sort
of haunted house horror story that will keep you turning pages late into
the night".
“A fun
sort of haunted house tale that brings to mind the old
Poltergeist TV show.”
“Tapping into some of our deepest primal fears,
Maynard and Sims have created a dark horror story that will keep the pages
turning long into the night.”
“Once
again Maynard & Sims has contrived to create a powerful work of fiction,
which reminds me of one of those nightmares that make you glad to wake up
and find out it was just a dream.”
"Black
Cathedral is a masterful haunted house tale that reminded me of the old
film, 'The Legend of Hell House'."
“L.H.
Maynard and M.P.N. Sims once again write a scary horror story that will
frighten the audience into leaving all lights on.” Comments on Good Reads:
“Great,
scary read. I would love to see this book made into a movie. I was seeing
it in my head as I read it. Very creepy.”
“I've
enjoyed the books I've read by Maynard and Sims. They have such an elegant
approach to horror that makes the horror much more frightening and, at
times, visceral.” |
