_______________________
When musician Isarel West plays a seemingly harmless piece of music, he unknowingly unleashes a sinister force with horrifying consequences in this creepy contemporary gothic horror novel.
On inheriting his fathers tumbledown Irish cottage, Isarel West, a university lecturer and musician, discovers some old sheet music composed by his late grandfather: a notorious and scandalous composer from the 1930s, nicknamed Judas because of his allegiance to the Third Reich.
Isarel starts to play the music entitled The Devils Piper, which some people believed his grandfather had based on the Black Chant a sequence of music that legend says can call an ancient power from the grave. But little does he know the sinister force that the music conjures up a force that brought misery and tragedy to others throughout centuries.
Isarel sets out to trace the dark legend to its source. As he does so, the truth about the ancient music begins to unfold. For the legend is true! And now, in the present, the Black Chant has fallen into the hands of a group of people who will once again make evil use of it . . .
Fans of LEIGH BARDUGOs Alex Stern series, T. KINGFISHERs Sworn Soldier series and SHIRLEY JACKSONs The Haunting of Hill House will be equally as thrilled and spooked by Sarah Raynes The Devils Piper.
