IFWG is very pleased to have released Ian C Douglas‘ middle grade horror novel, The Ravenshead Terrors, the first of his Ravenshead Trilogy.
“Douglas has been a mainstay of IFWG’s for many years, most notably his Zeke Hailey science fiction series,” said Gerry Huntman, Managing Director of IFWG. “He has a wonderful affinity with middle-grade readers and his turning from sci-fi-adventure (Zeke Hailey) to a more horror-adventure series, makes a lot of sense to us, as his writing skills and imagination match the breadth of 12 to 14 year olds. But to make an important point: the best middle grade writers have the uncanny ability to capture the imagination of older readers as well, and Douglas certainly succeeds in doing this. We would recommend anyone who loves unrelenting adventure mixed with a bit of horror and a post-apocalyptic setting, and who are aged from 12 to 120, to come and buy this wonderful book.”
Matt is an ordinary teenager too young to remember the Great Drowning, the climate catastrophe that transformed England into a superheated archipelago.
On a secret island he stumbles across a laboratory full of half-human and half-animal teenagers. When the shadowy Sons of Noah arrive to wipe out these hybrids, Matt is compelled to help three of them make a daring escape. Now they face a desperate journey through crocodile-infested creeks to save their captured friends. But a teenage cyborg assassin is on their heels with orders to kill. And worse dangers block their path, everything from ravenous kid cannibals to the zombie-like mushies.
Slowly, Matt realises that humanity’s future depends upon their mission.
