The Breach

How it reads

The Breach is horror (cosmic horror, specifically), and its dominant mood is dark. It goes to difficult places and doesn't look away. It moves fast: plot-driven and hard to put down, the kind of book that carries you along even when you're tired.

It's set in several locations, in the present day, told in the third person across several viewpoints. Its central concerns are survival, secrets and loss and grief. In weight it sits in the middle: substantial without being heavy going.

It opens a series. It ends on a cliffhanger, so have the next book ready. It's a long book, and a real commitment. It's well known, the kind of book most keen readers have heard of.
