The Three Impostors
The Three Impostors; or, The Transmutations is an episodic horror novel by British writer Arthur Machen, first published in 1895 in The Bodley Head's Keynote Series. It was revived in paperback by Ballantine Books as the forty-eighth volume of the Ballantine Adult Fantasy series in June 1972. The novel comprises several weird tales and culminates in a final denouement of deadly horror, connected with a secret society devoted to debauched pagan rites. The three impostors of the title are members of this society who weave a web of deception in the streets of London-relating the aforementioned weird tales in the process-as they search for a missing Roman coin commemorating an infamous orgy by the Emperor Tiberius and close in on their prey: "the young man with spectacles".

I enjoyed it immensely.' – Donal Ryan 'Inventive and compelling, this lifts off the page. A visceral sports novel, and yet so tender.' – Danny Denton 'Imagine Raymond Carver meets Donal Ryan and you have Tadhg Coakley's novel.

Let These Things Be Written
LONGLISTED: Exeter Novel Prize Cast out for a crime A holy hermit his only protector Seven-year-old Wilfrid lives a privileged life as the eldest son of the warmaster to the King of Northumbria. But his parents don't seem to love him and his life is turned upside down when he is given away to the monks of the island monastery of Lindisfarne. There he is taken under the wing of Cuthbert, the community's charismatic prior, who tries to cure him of the demons that torment him. But everywhere the boy goes, he seems to bring ill-fortune in his wake: to Fergus, drowned in the freezing North Sea, or to Sigi, his brother, who is struck down by plague when Wilfrid finds his way back home. As he comes of age and major events erupt all around him – with Northumbria at war with the Picts, religious schisms raging and the queen taking desperate measures to conceive a son – Wilfrid gradually pieces together his own family history, and the ageing Cuthbert's part in it. An evocative tale of seventh-century religious and political life offers some startlingly modern lessons about trauma and guilt.
