NEW FROM ALDER MARKSON:
Once in a Lifetime
Chaos has a new face.
The dust has not settled; the echoes of the last few minutes are still reverberating across the scene. Chaos has been introduced into what was a very normal if infuriating day on a British motorway. Questions need to be asked, was this by accident or design.
For the minute this doesn’t concern Tina Rawson, she has found herself in the centre of a fresh hell and has decisions to make.
Time will not stand still and those that know more about this will come together to shine a light into the new darkness that has been thrust onto an unsuspecting but not wholly innocent public.
Will she and they find the answers, do they even want the answers?
READ THE PREQUEL:
Everyone has them.
Some are more dangerous than others. Some should never emerge to see the light of day – yet they lurk, poised to pounce on the unwary.
It is a dark autumn evening. Dusk is falling over a busy stretch of motorway when a reluctant traffic jam forms. This is an ordinary road, a normal – if frustrating – snarl of congestion. It is no place for demons. And yet, in the stillness, they thrive.
Living in the spaces created by stasis, they go unnoticed. The travellers, lost in thought, remain unaware of the true danger that lurks among them – something ancient, something waiting… something that dwells in their midst.
Praise for Alder Markson
“In the Company of Demons is a bold and experimental psychological thriller that takes an unusual setting — a mundane motorway traffic jam on a dark autumn evening — and uses it to explore something far more unsettling than the commute itself. The demons of the title are metaphorical rather than supernatural, and readers approaching this expecting horror should adjust their expectations accordingly. What Markson offers instead is a study of the human psyche, the secrets we carry, and the quiet truth that we rarely know what is really unfolding in the lives of those around us.”
-Kristy McKay, The Book Dragon
