Free Book - Clowns At Midnight (K)

Clowns At Midnight (US/UK), by Terry Dowling, is free in the Kindle store, courtesy of small UK publisher PS Publishing Ltd.

Book Description
Troubled by coulrophobia, a lifelong fear of clowns, 41-year-old writer David Leeton goes to the north-eastern corner of New South Wales to mind a property for a friend. Not usually one to run away from his problems, David has just come out of a seven-year relationship with Julia, and needs time away from his old routines. House-sitting at Starbreak Fell seems the perfect solution.

David is especially glad of his decision when he meets his neighbours, the charming and surprisingly well educated Risi family, Sardinian Australians who raise pigs in the area, even more so when he is introduced to one of their guests at dinner, the intriguing and increasingly beguiling Gemma Ewins.

But David isn't at Starbreak Fell very long before strange things start to happen: glimpses of masked figures, voices calling in the night, terrifying images left on his computer, events disturbingly related to his special condition which draw him again and again to the mysterious stone tower on the forested hilltop behind the house.

Clowns at Midnight is a powerful and spellbinding tale of fear and wonder, of unexpected transformations and genuine redemption. David's discoveries in this almost overlooked corner of rural Australia lead him full-square into both the universal mystery at the forgotten heart of Western civilisation and the deepest, darkest secrets of the human condition.

Thanks, I grabbed it. This publisher seems to be featuring several good authors, at least with their first freebies that I've seen this month.

Anything to do with clowns has me giddy with delight, with a kill-lust that cannot be contained - after I have a cup of coffee, of course.

Grabbed!

Thank you.
