Coming Soon: Scar Night, by Alan Campbell

Coming in soon is the highly anticipated debut novel by Alan Campbell, Scar Night. It is set in a town called Deepgate, which hangs on huge chains over an apparently bottomless abyss. It follows the story of a teenage angel, who must travel with an assassin and others into the abyss to find the God of Chains to save the city. This is the first book of a projected series.

Campbell has been compared in reviews to both Neil Gaiman and Mervyn Peake. You can learn more about Campbell at his website and blog. You can also read the first chapter of Scar Night at a very cool website the publisher has set up for the book.
