520    The stunning new novel from the prizewinning author of The
       Wake Beast plunges you into the world of Edward Buckmaster,
       a man alone on an empty moor in the west of England. What 
       he has left behind we don't yet know. What he faces is an 
       existential battle with himself, the elements, and 
       something he begins to see in the margins of his vision: 
       some creature that is tracking him, the pursuit of which 
       will become an obsession. This short, shocking, and 
       exhilarating novel is a vivid exploration of isolation, 
       courage, and the search for truth that continues the story
       set one thousand years earlier in Paul Kingsnorth's 
       bravura debut novel, The Wake . It extends that book's 
       promise and confirms Kingsnorth as one of our most daring 
       and rewarding contemporary writers.
