Scott King investigates allegations of demon possession in a rural
Yorkshire village, where a 12-year-old boy was murdered by two
young children. Book six in the spine-tingling, award-winning Six
Stories series. 'Matt's books are fantastic' Ian Rankin 'An
exceptional storyteller' Andrew Michael Hurley 'Matt Wesolowski is
taking the crime novel to places it's never been before' Joseph
Knox, author of True Crime Story 'A stunning new episode of the
powerful Six Stories series. A masterful storyteller, Matt
Wesolowski is my go-to writer for literary horror' C J Cooke,
author of The Lighthouse Witches ____________ In 1995, the
picture-perfect village of Ussalthwaite was the site of one of the
most heinous crimes imaginable, in a case that shocked the world.
Twelve-year-old Sidney Parsons was murdered by two boys his own
age. No reason was ever given for this terrible crime, and the
'Demonic Duo' who killed him were imprisoned until their release in
2002, when they were given new identities and lifetime anonymity.
Elusive online journalist Scott King investigates the lead-up and
aftermath of the killing, uncovering dark stories of demonic
possession, and encountering a village torn apart by this
unspeakable act. And, as episodes of his Six Stories podcast begin
to air, and King himself becomes a target of media scrutiny and
public outrage, it becomes clear that whatever drove those two boys
to kill is still there, lurking, and the campaign of horror has
just begun... ____________ 'Matt Wesolowski is boldly carving his
own uniquely dark niche in fiction' Benjamin Myers 'Matt's real
skill is in finding a deeply human story and twisting it with the
paranormal, touching the reader and scaring the wits out of them'
