Austerley & Kirkgordon Books
"Crescendo!" is the tale of how we respond to darkness. Do we embrace it and try to wonder and steal from it. Or do we run from it, happy to keep it at a distance. Kirkgordon, a methodical, former bodyguard is reunited with Austerley, Professor of the Occult and delver into all things mysterious. Blaming Austerley for his marital problems and nightmare episodes, Kirkgordon finds himself teamed up with this shambling hulk to recover a dark music manuscript which can open up a portal for unimaginable horror to stalk this earth. Kirkgordon's pity for the obsessive Austerley is pushed to the limit and his creative thinking are stretched to the full in this wild romp across the globe, culminating in an unholy raising of an Eldar being. An 800 year old ice maiden, in dark leathers with a white hot staff and jet black wings, joins the hunt to provide the lid on a slapstick threesome. With the most finest of Her Majesty's Secret Agents, a three headed dragon and mutated islanders a-plenty, "Crescendo!" leaps from the USA to Russia, from Ireland to the Islands of Scotland. Whether you seek to understand the weird evil or destroy it, you'll never see the darkness in the same light again.
A town's checkered history with a vengeful privateer. An invalid's obsession with his missing foot. A care home assistant laying down the heat. A bizarre priest with a teenage daughter. A government agent seeking his missing employee. And a protector who finds he's a witch’s next lover. Join Austerley & Kirkgordon in their second full-length adventure at the English seaside town of Dillingham. Resting before Austerley's prosthetic foot operation, the boys find a lingering presence trying to take back the town that destroyed it. Ghosts, witches, a redoubtable librarian, monsters aplenty and a descent into hell all add up to give the team more headaches than they can handle. This is one vacation they'll never book again. Dillingham, you'll age fifty years in a night!
A shattered hero races to save his wife. A rescue team falling apart. Can Kirkgordon stand in the face of Dagon's return?
