'As stunning as it is unsettling. A contemporary gothic masterpiece' KATY HAYS
In the hallowed halls of Cambridge, a dangerous obsession takes hold…
When a young man arrives in Cambridge as a first-year student, he finds himself an outsider. There’s the punting and the politics, the wine and the waistcoats, all seemingly familiar to everyone but him. Then he falls under the spell of Bryn Cavendish.
A notorious party boy and skilled magician, Bryn is magnetic. To be in his circle is to revel in clouds of ecstasy, untouched by the rules. To be exiled is to haunt the peripheries of campus life like a ghost.
As the academic year intensifies and Bryn’s magic tricks become more sinister, one question lingers. Is Bryn’s charisma the source of his influence or does he wield a much darker and more dangerous power?
Genre: Mystery

Praise for this book
"Unsettling and richly atmospheric, And He Shall Appear is a bacchanalian campus noir that will keep you up at night wondering what is a trick or magic, and what is it we choose not to see. I loved this tense tale of intoxication, infatuation, and friendship, where Saltburn meets TheSecret History with a wholly original splash of the occult hiding in the shadows of Cambridge." - Aube Rey Lescure
"The dread creeps up like a specter over your shoulder in this haunting debut that echoes notes of M. R. James down the shadowy halls of modern academia." - Brian McAuley
"A darkly intricate, disturbing novel wound tightly with infatuation, devotion, and magic." - Lucy Rose
