If he thought he knew what the island could throw at him, he soon realises he was sadly mistaken. For Darkisle abounds in secrets. And some secrets are best left buried…

“Drake writes with knowing confidence on the near mythical landscape of the Island and this authorly reassurance makes it immediately familiar and absorbing to the reader… Those Under The Hill is a real treat for fans of the genre; accomplished, engrossing and excellently written. Highly recommended.”

“Definitely recommended for those interested in another look at the Cthulhu Mythos in the classic 1920s era, featuring a protagonist more interested in seeking out the Mythos and solving his case than spending too much time in Miskatonic’s Rare Books Room and fainting at the first sight of some eldritch horror.”

“I really enjoyed Jack’s investigations into the language, myths, and changing of place names over time… Once we get an idea of what is really happening… it becomes a race to try to find the boy and avoid the cult. As with many cosmic horror novels, it isn’t what we think it is….”
