An Interview with BRIAN RUCKLEY

The Edinburgh Dead is a superb modern horror novel, set in Edinburgh in the early 19th Century. Mixing suspense and the supernatural brilliantly, I thought it was reminiscent of Shelley’s Frankenstein and Stevenson’s Jekyll & Hyde in flavour and atmosphere. I highly recommend it to all fans of horror, fantasy, macabre and also thriller fiction.

While reading the novel, I contacted Brian to see if he might be interested in an interview.  Luckily, Brian had some free time, and was kind enough to answer my questions about writing and his novels. Read on to find out more, and discover two of the author’s hidden talents…

News: Brian Ruckley’s next

In advance of the mega-review of Ruckley’s The Godless World series, just a quick bit of news about his next piece of work. This time, he has turned his attention to early-19th Century Edinburgh for his upcoming novel, The Edinburgh Dead. Read more, here. The book sounds very interesting indeed, and we here at Civilian-Reader can’t wait!

The review for Winterbirth, Bloodheir, and Fall of Thanes will hopefully be up sometime in September or October (need to block out a decent amount of time for it, to do it justice).
