The Nightmare Man Daniel Johnson

Summer, 1997. In the aftermath of the worst storm in decades, the people of Druridge-by-the-Sea, Northumberland, are confronted with a double tragedy. Twelve people dead after a blaze in a lightning-hit residential building, and three shot dead when local farmer Donald Lees inexplicably murders his family. But this is just the start. 15-year-old Charlie Sixsmith, trying to grieve a loss he can't comprehend, tries to adjust to life in foster care and understand the worsening nightmares which plague him. As the days progress, and a dark new storm grows, death stalks Charlie and his closest friends, as they battle to stop the Nightmare Man from accomplishing his goals and fight to save their own lives as well... This black fairytale, set in the nostalgia of 90s Britain in hot, stormy summer in North East England, is part of The Druridge Trilogy of books revolving around the fictional Northumbrian town of Druridge-by-the-Sea. Part one, The Pack, is also available on Amazon. The final chapter is coming soon...
