‘Freshly arrived as minister at isolated Cold Inn chapel, Simon Lane finds an oasis of peace and solitude atop what he calls his ‘lonesome hill.’ Temporarily forced to live in the chapel itself, he easily adapts to life inside its weathered old walls, gratefully forgoing the comforts of modern life.

‘But deep in the ground, under the old graveyard, something is stirring. The tranquillity of this idyllic place has been shattered, forces utterly dreadful have awoken, and forbidden powers have been stolen by one who is evil beyond imagining...’

The novel’s author, Mark Fox, told the Observer about the Pembrokeshire setting of his fifth book:

“The surrounding area is intrinsic to the plot and although I’ve taken some liberties with geographical distances, I’ve stayed faithful to the local landscape and much of the local history.”

‘Cold Inn: A Novel is a work of fiction - mostly...’ reads the preface, ‘but there is a field just outside of Cold Inn vilage known as the ‘Hanging Field’ and local legend has it that the name derives from a discovery of bones that occured during the digging of a test shaft when coal mining was a major industry within the surrounding area.

‘This discovery inspired Cold Inn: A Novel, as did Cold Inn Ebenezer Baptist Chapel itself, which still exists and which continues to attract regular and faithful worshippers. This book is dedicated to them.’

Cold Inn: A Novel is described as a character-driven blend of fantasy, horror and romance for fans of supernatural and paranormal mysteries. For a sample to read and a link to Amazon where the book is available, visit https://markfox.co.uk
