Synopsis
Harvey Carson has a voice in his head. Mother is sending him messages from beyond the grave. She told him she would one day return, and finally, after waiting so long, he can hear her. She says it’s time to bring all the evil wrongdoers to justice.
The bad people are powerful, but Harvey is ready. He’s spent years watching and studying them all, compiling all the evidence he needs in readiness for this moment. Now he must deliver retribution for all the terrible things they have done.
Six unknowingly linked lives, two now long dead, become the players in Harvey's perverted fantasy. Triggered by the commands in his head, a hammer-wielding maniac emerges from a make-believe world to unleash a feast of horror upon them all leaving a trail of death and destruction behind him.
The tsunami of violence comes to rest at Harvey’s childhood home for the last act in his play of madness. The final scene will decide the fate of the living and the destiny of the dead, and only a young woman with an extraordinary gift can stop him.
Who is Seth Rivers?
Seth Rivers is the pen name of author Russell James Williams.
Immersed in creative projects since leaving college, Russ fronted a band that extensively toured the UK and Europe. He is a Director and co-founder of Riverjuke, now one of the UK's most in-demand Touring Support companies. Most recently he formed The Dream Real Company — a developer of intellectual property and creative artists — which provides the outlet for his Music production and composition activities. During the last twelve months as well as completing the latest Seth Rivers novel, Russ has produced and written new albums for three Dream Real artists, under his songwriting/producer moniker ‘The Love’.
A long-held interest in extending the message sized story ideas within songs into the expanse of a novel became a reality two years ago. Russ began what would become his first novel, writing fast-paced fiction likely to be enjoyed by readers of Stephen King, David Mitchell, Thomas Harris and Bret Easton Ellis.
To date, there are three completed Seth Rivers novels.
Killing Ghosts - an epic horror story of a deeply disturbed man's desire to enact revenge for the death of his baby sister. Possessed by messages from his dead mother in his head, a dark fantasy turns into a carnage of reality where only a young woman with an extraordinary gift can stop him.
Big Star Earth - a black comedy set in 1970’s England where a warring son and his movie-star Father form an unlikely alliance to find a way to survive an act of massive self- inflicted disaster.
Mr Nimblebus - a female singer-songwriter desperate for fame is suddenly catapulted to superstardom when she takes ownership of an ancient entertainment act and succumbs to its sinister secrets.
31-year-old Russ lives near Brighton, Southern England with his partner and baby daughter and is currently working on a fourth Seth Rivers novel — The Dome Palace — the sequel to Mr Nimblebus.
