From Greg Chapman, Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of Hollow House...
Psychiatrist Dr. Desmond Carter had always believed that his former patient, author Simon Ryan, was dead.
But, when a bloodstained manuscript penned by Ryan arrives at his office, Desmond begins to doubt everything he thought he had known—not just about the troubled author's past, but his own sanity. Desmond seeks the truth. Instead, he discovers the wellspring of madness.
In Pandemonium, the sequel to his acclaimed 2011 novella The Noctuary, Greg Chapman drags you deeper into the nightmarish reality of the Dark Muses—creatures forged from the very darkness in our own souls.
The words contained within will drive you mad… and damn you to Hell.
"A nightmarish exploration of free will and the power of words. Chapman has delivered a frightening read." - Kaaron Warren author of The Grief Hole
"Greg Chapman shows once again why he's at the forefront of Australian horror. Pandemonium is a heady mix of psychological thriller and supernatural scares that is sure to satisfy. You'd be insane not to pick up a copy." - Daniel I. Russell, author of Entertaining Demons
"The Noctuary is one of those stories that pushes the boundaries of storytelling, self-referential and recursive, at times self-consciously oblique, at other times frighteningly clear and precise. Once captured, the reader has no choice but to continue, to hold out hope in a world increasingly depicted as without any hope at all. Highly recommended." - Collings Notes
