Being afraid of getting on an aeroplane can cripple some people, but an author has decided to confront his own fear of flying head-on by turning it into a chilling horror novel. Award-winning writer Conrad Williams, who even tried to overcome his dread of flight by taking flying lessons, has channelled his fear in his latest chilling novel, Loss of Separation. We have 4 copies up for grabs!
Winner of the International Horror Guild Award and three-times winner of the British Fantasy Society Award, Williams is a master of powerful and emotionally-charged modern horror in the vein of Neil Gaiman and Clive Barker.
In Loss of Separation, commercial pilot Paul Roan is in command of a Boeing 777 when it is involved in a near miss. Nerves shot, he resigns and chooses to re-launch his life running a small hotel in a coastal village with his girlfriend, Tamara. Hit by a speeding car, Roan emerges six months later from a coma to discover the villagers, astonished by his cheating of death, now see him as a talisman and bring him secrets too awful to deal with themselves. He also suffers from terrible dreams of a crippled black airliner and its terrible cargo, which he knows, somehow, is coming for him.
