No-one ever said magic was pretty… Marrying the hard-boiled detective fiction of Raymond Chandler to the esoteric mysticism of vintage pulp magazines, BLAKEWOOD is a thrilling neo-noir fantasy, set in a world not so very far from our own… This first volume collects chapters one to seven of Kev Rooney's comic serial and will be continued in volumes two and three.
