Somebody wants to turn Blackpool into a seedy, tacky and depraved town

But Nigel, Wayne and Clint are master magicians – Hidden Masters in fact – and they have other ideas.

When Nigel's phone rings and his friend tells him that strange things have been going on in his seaside model village, Nigel thinks his friend must be stoned. After sharing a bottle of dark rum with his fellow magicians the trio decide to head north at the weekend to investigate. Over the next few days, they uncover a plot so dastardly that its name cannot be spoken, or is that just the rum? Calling on a mixture of arcane knowledge and local contacts – including a taxi whisperer – they need to save the world by Sunday evening because they have to be back at work on Monday morning.

The Hidden Masters and the Unspeakable Evil is the first book in Jack Barrow's bizarre contemporary fantasy series where a group of guys use magick, ceremony and various intoxicants to thwart their enemies while trying to keep it all together.

If you like magickal ideas mixed with absurd situations and lots of cleverly developed set pieces, then you'll love this book.
