Two bodies lay dead in a dark alley-one savaged by some unnatural predator, the other lying serenely like a fallen angel. The only significant clue is a pair of newly minted contact lenses worn by one of the eviscerated victims at his time of death. In an effort to see through the victim’s eyes and unveil a killer, Detective Nick Holden dons one of those lenses, but the world which consequently reveals itself is brimming with dark spectres and impossibilities.

The Blood Below is a crime/horror novel which sits within the Rust Chronicles universe, a cosmos dominated by the dream city Rust and the preternatural beings who inhabit it. The book blends weird fiction elements with traditional crime and horror themes, set against a mythical landscape with a steampunk and fantasy vibe.

Some say a dangerous monster is at large above the streets of London. A monster red in tooth and claw, with wings, and fire for breath. And its name… Wyvern!

CSI meets Harry Potter in this graphic novel from Ben Aaronovitch – writer of the bestselling Rivers of London supernatural police procedural crime novel series, Andrew Cartmel author of the Vinyl Detective and New York Times best-selling author, James Swallow creator of the Marc Dane series, and writer of five best-selling Warhammer 40,000 novels.

After a rash of strange UFO sightings above the capital, a Met Police helicopter night patrol is attacked by what can only be described as a dragon!

Wizard in training Peter Grant and his mentor, Thomas Nightingale, the Met’s only sanctioned wizard, takes to the skies to investigate.

As the mystery deepens, Peter and Thomas find themselves caught between two groups of hunters – one human, one fae – and he uncovers the legacy of events that extend all the way back to the late ‘60s and one of London’s most famous residents – a certain “Experienced” rock star – who made a pact with the Demimonde that was never fulfilled.

To save the skies of the city, Peter will have to face the enraged beast – but can he end things peacefully… Or will he be forced to destroy the last wyvern?
