When Alex Easton travels to Gallacia as a favour to their friend, the excellent Miss Potter, they find their home empty, the caretaker dead, and the grounds blanketed by an uncanny silence. The locals won't talk about what happened to the caretaker. None of them will set foot on the grounds.
Whispers of an unearthly breath-stealing creature from Gallacian folklore don't trouble practical Easton. But as strange visions disturb their sleep and odd happenings increase, they are forced to confront the dark shadow that hangs over the house...

A poet once wrote that the woods of Gallacia are as deep and dark as God's sorrow, and while I am usually sceptical of poets, I feel this one may have been onto something.- 1

I'm a huge fan of the author. I really enjoyed the first book, What Moves The Dead so couldn't wait to read What Feasts At Night. I liked this book a lot. I love horror fiction and the author is one of the best. You don't need to have read the first book to enjoy this. The events in the first book are mentioned briefly but this doesn't spoil the enjoyment of this book. I liked Alex Easton, he's a great character, strong-willed and practical despite what he witnessed in the first book. This is dark, creepy horror at it's best. I'd recommend this.
