At the Coming of Darkness​
New covers now available on Kindle, Paperback and Hardback.
​
July 1st, 1916. The Somme. The bloodiest day in the history of the British Army. Touched by fear, the men of the Newfoundland Regiment prepare to go over the top. All except one man, who seemingly relishes the slaughter to come.
100 years later and Father Iain Fitzgerald, fresh from the seminary, arrives at his new parish. He meets an ageing Robert McArthur, a man seeking absolution before his impending death. Compelled to remain at his residence, Fitzgerald slowly uncovers the dark and terrible past that has blighted the residents of Thoby Hall for decades.
Fitzgerald, his very faith tested, must unravel the mystery that surrounds McArthur’s home, and find the answers as to why the building is inexplicably lit at all times, of what links McArthur to a dark deal done on the Battlefields of the Somme, and finally to confront an ancient evil that lurks at the heart of the house.

John Oldaker was only six years old when his Grandmother moved into the family home. A mean spirited and broken women, she makes the family’s life a living hell.​
Young John retreats into his shell, until one fateful Christmas where he vows to get her back for everything she has put them all through.​
But how? Perhaps the answers lie in his Grandmothers strange routine; returning to her room over and over again, where she religiously turns a mysterious hourglass once every fifty five minutes.​
By watching her, he comes to believe that she turns the glass to prolong her life for just one hour more, never letting the sands come to rest.​
Superstition? Coincidence? Or is there something more terrifying at play?​
What is certain, is that John won’t discover the true story of the hourglass until adulthood, when it inexplicably makes its way back into his life.
