Ben Malton is convinced his father is still alive – despite the police’s assertion that he committed suicide. He’s certain there’s another truth out there, but could never imagine the full scope and horror of it as he discovers an old East German program of supersoldiers and their killing grounds.

Simon Clark leads his readers ever deeper into the horrors contained within the Nacht Wald – but for me, an even deeper horror is the journey Ben undertakes as he discovers his true nature and just what he’s capable of.

A masterclass of psychological horror – as you’d expect from such an established master of the craft. A superb read – I loved every word of it!
