An ancient evil resurfaces in the Canadian Rockies

Set in the small Rocky Mountain town of Silver, The Trickster places Sam Hunt’s settled family life under threat from a shape-shifting demonic force. The danger is tied not only to the mountains beneath the town but also to the private horrors Sam has tried to bury from his childhood. The novel’s horror premise connects supernatural violence with a past that refuses to remain hidden, as Sam becomes central to an approaching terror he does not fully understand. This UK anniversary edition also adds a new foreword by Muriel Gray and an introduction by Mark Millar.
