More About This Title For Rye

English

Some truths are best left buried.

Renata Wakefield, a traumatised novelist on the brink of suicide, is drawn back to her childhood hometown following her mother's ritualistic murder. Before long, she becomes ensnared in the mysteries of Milbury Peak as one question lies heavy:

Who killed Sylvia Wakefield?

As the answer draws nearer, as madness continues to envelope the quaint country town, Renata will come to realise that the key to all this insanity lies with one man - the world's leading writer of horror fiction. His name is Quentin C. Rye, and he will guide her to her revelation that true madness lies within.

Discovering that the darkness of her family's history runs deeper than she ever could have imagined, Renata Wakefield's eyes will finally be opened to one single, hideous truth, which will awaken a long-dormant evil.

Gavin Gardiner's lifelong love of horror didn't manifest into this novel until his early thirties. Between the completion of For Rye and its publication, he wrote a novella, several short stories, and a selection of non-fiction articles and analysis pieces. These can be found in various online publications and in print via www.gavingardinerhorror.com. Before he threw himself into the writing game, Gavin dedicated much of his teen years and twenties to the pursuit of music. Although the nightmares he's since committed to the page have garnered more attention than his songs, he hopes to one day return to music. The writing of horror, however, is here to stay. He's currently working on his second novel, Witchcraft on Rücken Ridge, and has grand plans for the future of his unique brand of horror. He very much hopes you'll join him for the ride. He lives in Glasgow, Scotland with his ever-patient girlfriend and ever-demanding kitten.

"I'm still a little speechless when it comes to FOR RYE. It's overwhelmingly good. I devoured this book in just over a day. I was left slightly traumatised with it playing on my mind, so there is no doubt the author achieved his goal. Bravo."

-Becky Wright, Platform House Publishing

"This is a relentlessly bleak love letter to the horror genre. Not an easy read, and certainly not for the squeamish, but a bold and memorable book, big on ideas and bursting at the seams with creativity and unpredictability."

-Richard Martin, MyIndieMuse.com

"Gardiner writes with an acid wit and an impressive grip on what it takes to horrify. FOR RYE is a full-on demonic chalice overflowing with evil deeds and mind-bending situations."

-Matt Adcock, author of Complete Darkness
