The Faces of the Fiend of Breydon – Publication Day

The Faces of the Fiend of Breydon

Happy publication day to The Faces of the Fiend of Breydon and author Charles Reader.

The Faces of the Fiend of Breydon is a tale of fear, obsession, passion, greed, folly and death. It plays itself out against a vast backdrop of marsh and sky – empty but for distant, shadowy forms. This psychological  thriller is primarily set in Victorian Great Yarmouth and the Broads. The book, price £12, is on sale at Allthingsnorfolk and Amazon 

The novel was shortlisted out of an entry of 13,500 in WH Smith’s Raw Talent competition in 2002.

Charles Reader explains: “In 1961, my family came to live near Halvergate Marshes. I was just two years old and so, as I grew up, this landscape was home. In later life I often returned to stay with my parents – yet each time I did so, I realised that more of the old Norfolk speech and ways I’d grown up with had disappeared and were in danger of being forgotten. So, I began writing about this area, using my childhood memories and conversations with our oldest neighbours. This eventually resulted in my novel, The Faces of the Fiend of Breydon.”
