Perfect for you if...

You enjoy horror that marries the supernatural with social commentary, where the terror carries political weight.
You're drawn to tight, character-driven mysteries where the protagonist's unusual gift becomes both curse and investigative tool.
You appreciate literary horror that takes its craft seriously: atmospheric New Forest settings, visceral artwork, and genuine dread.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer jump-scares and gore for entertainment's sake rather than horror that builds meaning through its imagery.
You want fast-paced plots that move relentlessly forward; Pyres takes time to develop its supernatural rules and psychological weight.
You're uncomfortable with political undertones woven into your fiction or detailed descriptions of burnt human remains.

About this book

Angela has worked as a spirit painter for years, channeling spirits onto canvas—capturing childhood pets, holiday memories, and homes. Her work takes a disturbing turn when her sister Becky returns from Italy. Angela's paintings begin depicting people burned alive, their charred remains rendered vividly on canvas. The situation escalates when a right-wing TV news presenter is found incinerated in a manner matching one of Angela's new paintings. As more artworks and burned bodies accumulate, Angela and Becky must uncover what is happening and find a way to stop it. Set in the New Forest and drawing on ancient gods, this novel combines murder mystery with supernatural horror elements.
