'John Blackburn is today's master of horror.' - "Times Literary
Supplement"
'Another of Blackburn's gripping, elemental confrontations of good
and evil.' - "New York Times"
'He is bang on curdling form with this tale of a sealed tomb in a
cathedral city and the Destroyer who lurks. Not for the timid.' -
"Evening Standard"
'He is certainly the best British novelist in his field and
deserves the widest recognition.' - "Penguin Encyclopedia of Horror
and the Supernatural"
For two centuries, the body of Sir Martin Railstone, poet, artist,
and libertine, has lain undisturbed in its crypt, amidst rumours
that important artistic works of genius are buried with him. The
Church of England has refused to allow the opening of the tomb,
believing that Railstone was a murderer and dabbler in the black
arts and that anything buried with him must be diabolical in
nature. But now plans are in the works for a dam, which will leave
Railstone's tomb under 100 feet of water, and a small group of
fanatics obsessed with Railstone will stop at nothing to discover
the crypt's contents before they are lost forever. One of them,
George Banks, opens the tomb and releases something ancient and
evil. He dies a horrible death, raving mad, and whatever he has
unleashed is not done killing. Four unlikely allies - a clergyman,
an ex-Nazi scientist, a journalist, and a historian - must come
together and find a way to stop it before it destroys all of
humanity. . . .
John Blackburn (1923-1993) was the author of more than thirty
popular thrillers in which he blended the genres of mystery,
horror, and science fiction in unique and often brilliant ways.
Although recognized as the best British horror writer of his time,
he has been sadly neglected since his death. This new edition of
"Bury Him Darkly" (1969), one of Blackburn's best, includes a new
introduction by Greg Gbur.
