This is the United Kingdom, but it's no country you know. No place you ever want to see, even in the shuttered madness of your worst dreams. But you survived. One man. You walk because you have no choice. At the end of this molten road, running along the spine of a burned, battered country, your little boy is either alive or dead. You have to know. You have to find an end to it all. One hope. The sky crawls with venomous cloud and burning rain. The land is a scorched sprawl of rubble and corpses. Rats have risen from the depths to gorge on the carrion. A glittering dust coats everything and it hides a terrible secret. New horrors are taking root. You walk on. One chance. Praise for "The Unblemished", winner of Best Novel, International Horror Guild: 'Building relentlessly from intense, intimate terror to something on another scale altogether ...this stark, gripping novel will stay with you a long time' "Guardian". 'Reminiscent of Poe and the early stories of Clive Barker. Not for the squeamish, but no fan of literary horror should miss it' - "The Times". 'Top-notch writing skills, poetic vision and beautiful prose raise this way above your Hammer House of Horror ...highly accomplished terror' - "Sunday Express".
