“Kane does an incredible job.”
(Cemetery Dance on RED)
“Gleefully gruesome… RED is wonderfully written.”
(Hellnotes)
“Paul Kane is a first-rate storyteller, never failing to marry his insights into the world and its anguish with the pleasures of phrases eloquently turned.” (Clive Barker – Bestselling author of The Hellbound Heart, Mr B. Gone and The Scarlet Gospels)
“Kane is adept at putting flesh on the bones: all the more horrifying, my dear, when he strips it off again.”(Alison Littlewood – Bestselling author of A Cold Season, The Hidden People, The Crow Garden and The Other Lives of Miss Emily White as A.J. Elwood)
“Get ready to take this journey through a very modern fairy tale. It has teeth, but not just at the end. These days, the path itself is full of dangers.” (Tim Lebbon – Bestselling and award-winning author of The Silence, Eden and The Last Storm)
“RED is bloody brilliant – clever, classy and bound to chill you to the bone!” (Horror World)
Evil takes on many forms – something Rachael Daniels, an innocent care worker, is about to find out… personally.
Something is roaming the streets of the city where she lives, something monstrous with a taste for sweet, red, human blood.
Something that can be anything it wants to be.
Soon, Rachael learns the hard way that not even the friendliest faces can be trusted.
As she makes her way across that city one night on an errand of mercy, she quickly discovers the terrifying creature will definitely have no such consideration for her…
Together in one book for the very first time ever, the RED trilogy is a modern, urban reworking of a classic fairy tale, which puts the horror spin on an old favourite.
Blood RED picks up straight away after the events of RED, the first installment, while Deep RED throws you into a nightmarish future scenario. If you dare to open these pages, you’ll face a terrifying journey into the unknown – courtesy of award-winning and #1 bestselling author, Paul Kane (the sellout Hooded Man, Monsters, Sherlock Holmes and the Servants of Hell, & Before)
