Newport-based Adam Robertson has unveiled his debut novel. A fond devotee of hiking and spending quality time with family, Adam has recently embraced a fresh pursuit – crafting spine-chilling tales of horror fiction.
An English fool’s terrifying journey
Adam’s debut novel, titled ‘The Terrorpendium’, centres around Micah Mawley, portrayed as a fool in the heart of English rural society.
After an unfortunate brush with the law, Micah finds himself forced to escape southwards to evade a seemingly inevitable hanging.
Sure to captivate fans of blood-curdling horror stories
Drawing inspiration from notable authors such as Stephen King and James Patterson, Adam has created a narrative that is sure to captivate fans of blood-curdling horror stories.
‘The Terrorpendium’ promises a heart-stopping thrill ride for the brave souls bold enough to immerse themselves in its pages.
The unfolding tale of Micah Mawley
The blurb for the book reads,
“He had never been known as a clever man, Micah Mawley. Wits, it seemed, were not his strong suit. He was unschooled and uneducated, neither able to read nor write. He was – to English rural society – a fool. A dolt. A halfwit. He had on occasion and in the past, also been known to possess a foul and violent temper. It had been this fiery and irrational anger of his that had caused the trouble in London. And the trouble in London had been the reason that he had fled south: to escape the city before the sheriff could clap him in irons and send him to the Tower. The sheriff took delight in using the noose to punish those that committed the most heinous of crimes, and he had taken a special dislike to Micah…” “
With his profound hope that readers will find enjoyment in his work, Adam invites readers on an enthralling journey through late modern England and Nazi Germany.
A local’s leap into literature
The publication of ‘The Terrorpendium’ marks an exciting new chapter in Adam’s life.
The passion and creativity he poured into his first foray into the realm of fiction will undoubtedly keep readers on the edge of their seats.
Those who dare to delve into ‘The Terrorpendium’ are in for a rollercoaster ride through an intriguing and chilling world, the creation of a local talent truly making his mark.
The Terrorpendium by Adam Robertson is available via Olympia Publishers, priced at £8.99 for paperback.
