Nailed by the Heart
British Fantasy Society: Best Novel nominee (1996).
Bram Stoker Award: First Novel nominee (2000).
When Chris and Ruth Stainforth move to a pleasant coastal village to start a new life with their six year old son, David, it seems like a dream come true. Or so they think. But they have no way of knowing that the village was once a sacred site for the old religion. And that the old god is not dead – just waiting.

But when the power arouses the sleeping horror-cargo of a ship that sank thirty years ago, the magic is tainted. And Chris, Ruth and David find themselves right in the path of a living-dead nightmare made all too murderously real...
