Tropic of Darkness - supernatural chills from Simon & Schuster/Pocket Books
My first novel from a major publisher in 4 years - and my first stand-alone novel since 1995's Night Feast - is now available from Simon & Schuster/Pocket Star.
Enter a dim-lit, sultry world full of the darkest secrets, where age-old legends come to life, dreams get mixed up with reality, and nothing save for death is truly as it seems. Jack Gilliard is a man with a dark past, and he hasn’t been back to the United States for more than a decade. But when he washes up in Havana, Cuba, he finds himself being drawn into a business darker than he ever dared think. Ancient passions, ancient treacheries, an age-old curse, and the evils of his past are now consuming the present—and Jack is caught in the midst of it all. To survive, all he has to do is leave the country—a prospect much more difficult than anticipated. But the real question is: can Jack escape before the darkness claims him altogether? “The tension built well as the story progressed and kept me turning pages. All in all, Tropic of Darkness is a well-crafted tale, and well worth reading. I rate this work as Highly Recommended for adult readers” – The Monster Librarian. Read an extract here. Tropic of Darkness is available in a wide variety of different $1.99 ebook formats. A paperback version will be released in 2014. TROPIC OF DARKNESS US TROPIC OF DARKNESS UK About the Author: Tony Richards was born in London, England. Widely traveled he often sets his fiction in locations he has visited. His novels have been published by Tor, Pan Macmillan, Eos/HarperCollins, and Pocket Books, and his shorter work has appeared in F&SF, Weird Tales, Asimov’s SF, Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine, and a number of anthologies including Best New Horror.
