Into the Dark
A thriller combining a London serial killer with an ancient British evil.
This narrative weaves together two distinct threads of terror. Janice’s fear of the dark complicates her new romance with a suspect in London murders. Meanwhile, in Northern England, events at her lover’s former family estate awaken a primordial force. The text positions the psychotic killer as a potential savior against this greater threat. Jennings uses the setting of Britain to ground the supernatural elements in a recognizable reality. The story examines how personal phobias can blind individuals to both immediate and cosmic dangers. It asks whether humanity can be saved by its own worst monsters.
Set in London and Northern England, the book draws on British gothic traditions. It combines urban crime fiction with supernatural horror elements prevalent in late twentieth-century literature.
