Dare you enter the stone circle . . .? The world’s most unlikely ghost-busting duo – actress Diana and handsome young bishop Alistair – are back in this spine-tingling paranormal mystery from New York Times bestselling British fantasy author

There are stories about the dilapidated stone circle at Chipping Amesbury, going back centuries. Of people going missing, never to be seen again. Of people found dead inside the circle. Of monsters, and of demons. The villagers may tell the tales with relish to visiting tourists, but a careful observer will notice that there is no transport to the stones, no tours on offer, and the locals stay well away.

Alistair Kincaid, the youngest ever bishop of All Souls Hollow, is an expert in Britain’s ancient stone circles. That’s why, when landowner Sir Neville Chumley announces his plans to restore the circle to its ancient glory, he agrees to take part in a documentary about the project.

Well – that, plus talented actress Diana Hunt is on board. Ever since their last encounter, when the pair of them hunted ghosts and solved a murder, the tabloids have dubbed them the Holy Terrors, and Alistair can’t wait to see her again.

But soon after filming begins, Alistair and Diana are plunged into a terrifying mystery. For the repositioning of the final stone unleashes a series of blood-chilling events that threaten to make them both believe in demons – if, that is, they make it out of the stone circle alive.

The Holy Terrors novels are funny, scary and thoroughly entertaining – perfect for fans of Simon R. Green’s urban fantasy novels, as well as those who enjoy American Horror Story, The Haunting of Hill House, horror novels, and murder mysteries with a supernatural twist.

Also known as The Holy Terrors Book 2.

Simon R. Green

Simon R. Green writes like someone with one foot in the shadows and the other in a cosmic madhouse—blending noir, fantasy, and science fiction in ways that defy neat categorization. Whether he's guiding readers through the eerie alleyways of the Nightside, a city where it’s always 3 a.m. and miracles cost extra, or unleashing chaos in the multiverse with the Deathstalker saga, Green never settles for the expected. His stories are darkly funny, unabashedly strange, and full of sharp edges hidden beneath layers of magic and menace.

Born in Bradford-on-Avon, England, Green grew up with a fondness for the strange and supernatural. That affinity for the weird never faded—it just evolved. After studying modern English and American literature, he dove headfirst into writing, and hasn’t come up for air since. Early on, he worked behind the scenes in the entertainment industry, including writing a novelization for the Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves film, but it’s his original worlds where his voice truly comes alive.

Green's signature style—dry wit, cinematic action, and a relentless drive to upend genre tropes—has earned him a loyal following over the decades. His protagonists rarely fit the mold of the classic hero; they’re more likely to carry hidden weapons, emotional scars, and a deep mistrust of authority. The Secret Histories series, following the James Bond-meets-occult operative Eddie Drood, is a perfect example: espionage meets eldritch horror, wrapped in swagger and sarcasm.

Across more than 50 novels, Green has built a literary multiverse where urban fantasy, science fiction, and supernatural thrillers collide, often with blood on the walls and a knowing smirk. He doesn’t just tell stories—he breaks them open, letting all the strange and dangerous things spill out.

For readers who crave genre fiction with teeth—and maybe a trench coat or two stained with otherworldly ichor—his work remains a gateway to the delightfully bizarre.
