The Madman

Ramble House is proud to present Mark Hansom's final novel, THE MADMAN, as a slight departure from his classic supernatural fare. There is a menace that courses throughout the book as malevolent as any demon and his mastery of suspense is obvious. But controversy is always looming with a Hansom book and this time it's about who "Mark Hansom" really is. John Pelan has had several views over the years and he defends them against an upstart, Thor Dockweiler, who proposes a new theory bout Hansom's true identity. Their dueling introductions jumpstart the book and it ends with a bang, a short story by Hansom called "The Last Trick."
