Nearhope
About
Felix has lost everything. On an ordinary evening, he meets a lonely figure at a service station who needs his help. How can Felix be of any assistance to this man, and where is he taking him? Plunged into blackness and faced with demons from his past, he must fight to help save the future of mankind.
Nearhope, a place populated by the damned, acts as a buffer between the demon’s realm and our world. But the first incursion has occurred. Can the chosen twelve and their leader return evil to where it came from? If they fail, He who reigns over all the darkness will claim the prize he has long sought, and the consequences for the human race will be devastating.
A fantasy horror, where the fight between good and evil rises to a new level and takes the reader on a journey to a place like Hell… only far, far worse.
Praise for this book
A Very well written Horror Fantasy. I liked that it has short sections/ subdivisions, which makes it easy to read without having to try to finish long chapters. The author has written this with great imagination and skill. I would certainly recommend this book for lovers of the genre or those who are looking for an intriguing read.
Audible version: I really enjoyed listening to this book, the narrator is perfect as Felix! an interesting concept of life afterwards and how things play out for a persons actions whilst on this mortal world.

If you enjoy the fantasy horror genre, then this book should not be missed. Imaginative and original, with well-rounded characters and believable dialogue, the story cleverly incorporates the best and worst of our 'real' world, alongside the horrors of Nearhope, a place inhabited by demons, and by those souls lost in their own personal purgatory. A great read. Highly recommended.
This is a well written story about Demons trying to take over the world and a fight to stop this happening. Fast paced and filled with action. Some graphic descriptions. Waiting for the next in the series.
Fantasy is not a genre I always go for but this was fantastic from start to end! Look forward to reading more of John’s work in the future - great writer
A great read. Although I would describe this as Fantasy Horror, it is much more than that. A thrilling and exciting story that I thoroughly enjoyed and would highly recommend.
