Joseph D’Lacey’s latest is Blood Fugue, out later this month by Proxima/Salt Publishing at £8.99:
“Reclusive outdoorsman Jimmy Kerrigan finds
himself battling a vampiric plague which threatens to destroy Hobson’s Valley,
the isolated mountain community he calls home. When his family, friends and
neighbours fall prey to the ‘Fugue’, Kerrigan is the only one who can save them
and prevent the disease spreading beyond the remote town’s boundaries.
Kerrigan is uniquely equipped to deal with
the outbreak. He carries a variant strain of Fugue enabling him to overcome and
heal its victims. However, the nature of the illness ensures neither he nor
those he hunts down are aware they’re infected. After feeding on humans, the
diseased forget their behaviour. Even Kerrigan, having confronted or
neutralised a Fugue, is unable to recall his actions as guardian of Hobson’s
Valley.
Kerrigan is challenged beyond his limits
when an innocent family of outsiders hikes straight into a wilderness crawling
with Fugues – a wilderness he is responsible for. Can he really save them and
protect the town? Can he defeat the creature who has caused the Fugue to
mutate? And, most crucially, when he learns the horrifying truth about his own
infection, will he even have the strength to try?”
There’s also a video promo to watch.
