*Please note: This duology contains the full, previously published novels The Cundy and The Weeper. If you’ve read those titles individually, you already own this story.

A supernatural coming-of age duology that blends Norse mythology, ancient evil, and sibling loyalty against the backdrop of a crumbling 1990s English village. Perfect for fans of Stranger Things and Stephen King's IT.

Thirteen-year-old Sullivan Carter and his younger brother, Colton, are just trying to outrun school bullies when they stumble into the cundy—a dark, eerie tunnel deep in the woods.

What follows them out isn’t just fear. It’s something ancient. Something hungry.

Locals whisper about strange rituals performed by teens at the cundy’s mouth, and Sullivan becomes convinced that whatever they’ve awakened is tied to the blood-soaked legacy of Viking warlord Scula, whose spirit still clings to the land. When Colton begins hearing voices—one of them claiming to be their dead mother—their grief turns to dread.
To protect his brother, Sullivan must face a myth made flesh and the creeping rot taking hold of their lives.

But the cundy doesn’t give up its hold so easily...

Fast forward two years. Sullivan, apprenticing at his family’s funeral home, is desperate to put the past behind him. But when Colton unknowingly opens a door to the afterlife inside their new home, nightmares begin to spill into waking life once more.
A ghostly child cries from within the walls. A spindly shadow man stalks the rooms after dark. And something monstrous stalks the village, leaving a trail of grotesque deaths in its wake.

As a decades-old mystery resurfaces, Sullivan realises to save Colton—and what’s left of their broken family—he’ll have to go back to the cundy and face what’s there.

Because some doors should never be opened.

And some tunnels never let you go.
