Other kingdoms

A TERRIFYING SUSPENSE FROM ONE OF THE MOST ENGAGING AUTHORS IN WORLD LITERATURE. Famous for his Midnight series, writer Alex White, who adopted the name Andrew Black, decides to narrate an experience that bordered on the surreal and happened 64 years ago. The unimaginable story that occurred when he was still young is the purest truth and changed his life forever. At 18, White, a young American soldier, is wounded in the trenches of World War I. Instead of returning to the United States, he moves to Gatford, England, trying to escape his father and his past. The bucolic English village seems the ideal place for his soul and body to heal the scars of war. But it is said that the forests surrounding the town are inhabited by frivolous and even malevolent spirits. *Other Realms* presents a plot where fantasy feels like reality, and the protagonist's fears, anxieties, and regrets intertwine with those of the reader. • “Perhaps no other author is so responsible for scaring an entire generation.” – The New York Times • “Matheson is a writer with the precise talent for imagining terrifying scenarios on any scale and imbuing them with frightening plausibility.” – Los Angeles Times
