It began with a strange light in the sky, followed by a power surge that blew out all the electrics in the Norwegian town of Røyken. Both man and beast inflicted by the lights turned into enraged maniacs, committing horrendous acts of violence and murders. As the blanket of darkness fell upon the town, did the real monsters emerge.
Blue Reviews: “A tempting feast for the lovers of horror.
Dark, gruesome and disturbing; Røyken scares the daylight out of the readers.
McGowan’s debut is a compendium of explicitly terrifying writing, thrilling plot and gory world-building.
Full of visceral dread, yet thoroughly captivating. The author’s gothic style is efficacious.
Scariest novel of the season sucks you into the terror and leaves the heart pounding.
Highly recommend to the readers of horror fiction. Grab a copy now”
