The Sinners of Crowsmere: A Fractured Novella

Several weeks ago, Nadir Books published its first ebook: David Senior's 'The Sinners of Crowsmere: A Fractured Novella.'

The blurb on its Amazon page reads thus:

"A man is released from prison and returns to his coastal home town. Broken figures inhabit a decaying landscape. Curses and crows haunt the air.

As influenced by the transgressive writings of Dennis Cooper and Derek McCormack as the East Anglian ghost stories of M R James, The Sinners of Crowsmere is a bleakly skeletal novel about erosion, misogyny, folklore, old photographs, and half-remembered films."

Now, blurbs can of course be hideously misleading things, but hopefully this does  give a sense of the book's approach and atmosphere.  Illustrated with haunting black and white photography and of a meandering, uncertain nature, 'Sinners' is stark - flirting with horror and the avant-garde yet never fully embracing either.

'The Sinners of Crowsmere' can be found here:

Nadir Books



Nadir Books is a Norwich, Norfolk based publishing company: only ebooks for the time being, although we are hoping for some limited print-runs of physical editions to available at some point in the future.

The remit of Nadir Books is to put forth words and images that view the East Anglian landscape in all its psychogeographical, eroding, lonely, often creepy beauty.
