A quarter-century ago, the underground Maze of Mithras disappeared from the uplands of Italy, taking Andrea's partner with it. Now that it's returned—thousands of miles away in Namibia, Africa—she races to unravel its mysteries…and, perhaps, find the man she once loved. But will Andrea end up trapped inside when quakes rock the ancient site? Will she be lost forever when the walls themselves shift and change, pushing her down unfamiliar passages where a ravenous man-beast lies in wait? Or will the secrets of the forgotten god, Mithras, guide her in directions she never imagined? The darkest mysteries of the past turn the present into an inescapable labyrinth in this urban fantasy thriller. When the supernatural and the human heart clash, no compass devised in this world can lead you to the next level. Don't miss this exciting fantasy tale by USA Today bestselling author Robert Jeschonek, whose Gaia Files series is lighting up the world of urban fantasy.

'Set to become one of the decade's landmarks of English weird.' – Nina Allan, author of Conquest WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY ANGELA SLATTER Malcolm Devlin's debut short-fiction collection, first published in 2017, announced the arrival of a major new talent in the worlds of weird fiction and literary horror. In You Will Grow Into Them, change is the only constant. These ten stories tackle the unease of transformation, growth, and change in a world where the mundane is only a veneer hiding the darkness below. Childhood anxieties manifest as degraded doppelgängers; fungal blooms are harvested from the backs of dancers; and lycanthropes become the new social pariahs. In You Will Grow Into Them, the demons we carry inside us are very real indeed.
