Out of his past… Out of his mind… It crawls
London, 1973. A small-time crook is on the run – from the law, from the local crime boss and, above all, from a horror that’s haunted him since childhood, a supernatural psychic entity which seeks to devour his soul. It’s crawled out of his memories and now, slowly, it’s emerging from his mind and into reality. So he believes, but is it real? Have feelings of guilt about his most recent crime pushed him into paranoid delusions?
 
At the boarding house where he takes refuge, he hopes to restart his life through his love for a fellow resident but his growing fear of the entity, and the imminent vengeance of London’s criminal underworld, threatens disaster for them both. When they find themselves at the entity’s mercy, trapped in a bizarre, menacing otherworld, reality itself mutates into something truly evil…
 
Part gritty crime thriller, part psychological horror story, The Burn Street Haunting is a tightly woven novel about the grip held on us by the past. A tale of ghosts and gangsters, corrupt coppers and secret experiments in the paranormal, steeped in the sights and sounds of ’70s London, an era of smokey pubs, seedy villains and platform shoes.
