Trade review
The first adult ghost story from the acclaimed author of the children's series, "Chronicles Of Ancient Darkness". It is a truly terrifying story, set in the 1930s and the northern wilderness. As the clouds of war are gathering in England, Jack joins an Arctic expedition, reaching the uninhabited bay of Gruhuken where they plan to spend the next year. But the Arctic summer is brief, and as the darkness encroaches, one-by-one Jack's colleagues are forced to leave. As the darkness grows and the sea freezes, any means of escape is cut and he is left alone. But he is not alone. Something walks out there in the dark...
