On Deadly Ground by multiple British Fantasy Award-winning author Simon Clark (ISFDB, Wikipedia) is his standalone supernatural horror novel, set in the obligatory soon-to-become-creepy small village where one day everything is overturned when an apocalyptic disaster arises, leaving the inhabitants as refugees from terrible things from both outside, as well as within themselves, free courtesy of publisher Endeavour Press' Venture imprint, who are e-printing it from 1997 edition originally out from Hodder & Stoughton under the title of King Blood.

This was a preliminary nominee for the BFA's August Derleth Award for Best Fantasy Novel back in the day, according to ISFDB, and the tags indicate that the story may involve vampires (not mentioned in the blurb), if those happen to be an especial draw for you.

Currently free @ Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK and pretty much everywhere else that Amazon sells worldwide, since this is being done via their KDP Select exclusive-or-else program)

And this has been the selected 3rd (non-repeat) free ebook thread of the day.

Enjoy!

Description
Rick Kennedy feels good.

Tonight there's going to be the party of the decade, the brother he hasn't seen for years has just flown in, and Rick is all set to do something about Kate Robinson, the beautiful girl he just can't get out of his mind.

In the pleasant village of Fairburn the evening air is warm . . .

But this is also the night that Rick encounters the stranger in the wood.

And soon he's waking up to find 30,000 refugees choking in the streets. People are running for their lives. Only there's nowhere to run.

Inexorably the ground heats up. Cities erupt into flames. Lakes boil. Survivors search desperately for refuge in a landscape burning forever hotter beneath their feet.

But they have yet to confront the Grey Men - and the demons inside themselves. Because their blood itself is beginning to boil . . . with savagery, hunger and lust . . .

On Deadly Ground is a terrifying horror story set in the mysterious world of the supernatural. It was previously published as King Blood.
