Thistlebone HC Book Two: Poisoned Roots

Thistlebone HC Book Two: Poisoned Roots continues the dark occult mystery at the heart of Harrowvale. Journalist Seema Chaudry, who now researches the Thistlebone legend for a book, returns with Avril Eason to the village and confronts the lingering power of Jasper Hillman’s cult. This volume places Malcolm Kinniburgh at the center of the legend, suggesting that the story’s terror rests as much in memory and motive as in occult rite. With T. C. Eglington’s taut writing and Simon Davis’s moody, meticulously rendered art and cover, the book builds unease through restrained pacing, eerie landscapes, and character-driven suspense. This hardcover collects the series’ chilling arc in 80 pages of mature, unsettling storytelling, expanding the Thistlebone mythology while setting the stage for future chapters. A vivid, cathartic experience for readers drawn to gothic mystery and supernatural crime.
