A supernatural trip into the mysterious knot of nature where terror and vengeance, but also redemption can be found in the roots. Ballard meets Hammer horror Justin Robertson´s debut novel is a trans- dimensional trip into the mysterious knot of nature; a journey into the ´brilliant darkness´ where the timeless divine spirit of the ´Tangle´ weaves its spell and all mankind´s hubris is rendered insignificant by the radically non-human force of phantom ecology. Salvation, revelation and a terrible reckoning dwell in the ancient roots ... A time travelling account of what occurs when unknowable frontiers are breached and humanity finds itself, once again, lost in the woods, THE TANGLE invites us into a grotesque world of eco-horror, echoing with the spirit of writers such as Saki, Ballard, M R James, Ursula Le Guin, Brian Catling and Thomas Ligotti.
