Kerr's writerly gifts are impressive' JOYCE CAROL OATES

'Kerr is a mighty fine writer' PATRICK McCABE

EPISODE 1 OF THE SERIAL NOVEL, THE BLACK LODGE

The time warp begins as if by chance. Eva and Adamo Kadmon are pregnant, searching for their dream-home, when they enter a Knightsbridge mansion, formerly owned by world-famous author and paranormal investigator, Arthur Koestler.

Blinded by the sheer opulence of the house, the couple do not register that something is dreadfully wrong here. Time-space has been distorted, warped by a strange metal bowl and the malevolent alien presence that has been imprisoned within it.

Powerful and cunning, this entity has been waiting for Eva and Adamo for millennia, plotting how to take possession of their unborn child and escape Eternity into Time, which she is sworn to destroy. For she is Lilit, Mother of All Demons.

How can two ordinary mortals hope to resist Lilit and her horde of demons? Two ordinary mortals could not. But Eva and Adamo are not as ordinary or as mortal as they seem, and if they can save their unborn child, they can stop all hell being unleashed on mankind.
