What is Eldritch about?
Eldritch picks up after Anathema and follows Maevyth and Zevander into the perilous mortal lands, where they are trying to free Zevander from the grip of an ancient malevolent power that threatens both worlds. Behind them, a sinister curse spreads like a plague and flesh-eating monsters stalk what is left of Foxglove Parish, where the last traces of ordinary life are long gone. Their one route of escape runs through the Eating Woods themselves. Gothic dark fantasy with a slow-burn romance and a genuine horror streak.
