Everyone loves a great supernatural war story, well I sure as hell do, and authors Benedict J Jones and Anthony Watson are no strangers to this fantastic sub-genre of horror fiction, with Benedict's brutal Slaughter Beach, and Anthony's thought provoking Witnesses, they have now formed an Entente Cordiale to bring you an explosive historical horror novel of mystics, soldiers and spies.

Today on The Ginger Nuts of Horror Website we bring you an exclusive cover reveal for The Damocles Files: Ragnarok Rising

The World is at War; as nations clash across continents in a titanic struggle for global domination another parallel conflict is being fought in the shadows by academics, mystics, soldiers and spies. The spoils for which they fight are the worlds occult treasures and the keys that will awaken an ancient sleeping evil.

The Damocles Files: Volume One is a new novel from the pens of authors Benedict J Jones (Slaughter Beach, Hell Ship) and Anthony Watson (Witnesses, The Fallen). Set across the entirety of the Second World War, it tells the epic story of the secret government organisation, Damocles, and its battles to combat the occult machinations of the Axis powers.

The novel is a mixture of military action and supernatural horror and is set in a variety of locations including Iceland, Turkey, Egypt and Denmark. The narrative is presented in fractured form, made up of a series of short stories with an overarching storyline and recurring characters, culminating in a novella-length final story set in numerous locations on the night of the fall of Berlin.

The amazing cover art and design comes courtesy of Peter Frain at 77studios and brilliantly captures the feel of the book and its combination of action and horror whilst referencing the military comics of yesteryear.

The Damocles Files will be available in both paperback and ebook formats this summer. A novella, Wings in the Darkness, will be released on May 21st. This story is an expansion of one of those featured in the novel and is the perfect introduction to the world of Damocles and the characters who populate it. The novella is available for pre-order now.
