SOME LEGENDS ARE TRUE… EVEN IF YOU PRAY THEY AREN’T
In a forgotten English coastal town, a sinister fairy tale lies in wait beneath the dunes. When an estranged father and son return to sell the family home, an ancient magical pact between their family and elemental powers of nature is set in motion. Father and son must try to find each other as they confront the lethal curse that has plagued their family through the ages. In so doing, they will learn that happily ever after comes at a high price, but only if they are brave enough to cross the dunes.
For fans of Graham Joyce’s The Tooth Fairy and Stephen King’s Fairy Tale comes an addictive novel uniquely blending fantasy and horror. Across the Dunes is a heart-stopping tale of ancient curses and family bonds that will haunt you long after the final page.

“Across the Dunes is quite simply a work of startling genius. Thrilling but also thought-provoking, witty and action-packed but also mythically resonant, Across the Dunes manages to straddle the gulf between old and new, magical and mundane, in a way only the greatest tales can. Effortlessly weaving together everything from British occult magic and folklore to film criticism to epic fantasy, Soule draws you into an astonishing world that, for all its horror, you will never want to leave. One cannot help but feel Soule is a sorcerer, or a god in disguise, vivifying the ancient powers to dazzle us one last time.”
