John Linwood Grant
Readers will delight in the wit and danger found in art collector Justin Margrave's adventures in 1970s England. Whether the threat is folk horror or something from another dimension trying to slip through the cracks, Margrave deals with each situation with style and aplomb. Grant's new collection of occult fiction offers a sinister atmosphere accompanying the dealings of the aesthetic genteel and less-than-savory denizens of the world.
