We’re celebrating the highly anticipated second novel in A. B. Finlayson’s Arthur Crazy Series, The Sword and the Hounds!

The Sword and the Hounds
Publication Date: July 23, 2024
Genre: Fantasy
Publisher: Parliament House Press
For lovers of Gaiman and Pratchett’s GOOD OMENS, SHAUN OF THE DEAD and THE WORLD’S END comes the exciting sequel to THE BOOK AND THE BLADE.
Arthur Crazy was drunk and seeing ghosts.
Now he’s just drunk. The dead are silent, and Arthur is worried he might be living up to the family name. But after going back to where the Crazy people live and spending months sleeping off hangovers in his childhood bed, it’s finally time to return to the land of the living.
Unfortunately, the dead are not done with Arthur.
The hounds are stirring.
The guardians are moving.
The Shadowmen are watching.
And the sword in Arthur’s possession is calling them all.
They’re on their way, but you know what Britain is like—public transport is a joke. Especially at Christmas, it could take some time.
Some people have skeletons in their closet. Arthur has ghosts in his dreams and a sword under his bed… and everyone wants it! The dead, the living, and those dancing on the edge.
Evil stirs in Yorkshire.
Britain needs a hero.
Arthur needs a coffee.
On the moors, the devil rises.
About the Author
I was born and raised in a small town in the North of England and slowly moved further away. Now I live in Australia and that’s probably far enough. I’m a teacher who loves to write but I’d rather be a writer who loves to teach.
When I’m not hanging around with my wife and kids or attempting to play guitar, I write stories I think people will enjoy reading. They’re usually scary, and a little bit silly.
