The sound hits Guy in some low, forgotten part of his psyche - a part of him that understands the truth about shadows. The part of him that knows the deep, dark truth behind fairy stories and myths.

Guy is about to finish writing his breakthrough online article. He overheard the story by chance in a pub and it’s guaranteed to go viral - all he needs to do is persuade the World’s Unluckiest Man to talk to him. His best friend Larry’s quest for killer clickbait material has led him to a recently appeared shanty town in Glasgow, where he finds some kind of urban voodoo cult. Ex-cop Sam has already come face-to-face with the terrifying force behind both these phenomena, but he’s been trying to put it out of his mind.

When Larry is killed in inexplicably gruesome circumstances, Guy knows he’s also a target. The evidence of malevolent power is suddenly proliferating - but why now? Together, Sam and Guy enter a shadow world of ancient monsters and modern curses, in a battle to figure out the rules of the game and bring them to the light before it’s far too late.

From the best-selling author of the Stone Man series, You See the Monster is for fans of contemporary horror books at their most darkly inventive: a chilling, high-concept fable for our times.

I'm a long term Smithereen and yet to find a book of his I don't like. I was worried that I wasn't enjoying this one, I found the first few chapters disjointed. But no fear!! true to form the beautifully crafted and delightful flawed characters came to the for and Luke's character driven style stepped up. By the last third I was enthralled and obsessed with trying to put the pieces together before the end. Now off the Branigans for a swift pint.

I loved this book. I loved the strangeness and the mythos behind it, I loved the flawed characters and the insidious monsters. A great listen thanks to Luke's constantly brilliant narration. Not like anything else I've ever read.

Compellingly Disturbing

If you are a fan of Luke Smitherd you will love this. Another literary sojourn into that offbeat place that is Luke’s mind. As ever, this is a story about fantastic things happening to ordinary, likeable, fallible people. It’s done in such a clever way that you forget that it can’t really happen (or could it?) & just go with it. This covers all sorts of genres; yes, it’s horror, but it’s also a story about love and about an unlikely friendship between two men in the face of adversity, which Luke also did so well in The Stone Man. It’s modern, British fiction at its best. You might be scared, but you won’t be bored! Great reading performance too. No-one knows these characters like the author whose performance improves every time he presents his work.

If you like your fiction dark, you’ll love this!
