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.”
