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:
