We are delighted to announce that Simon Clark has signed to produce a fourth book in the popular BLOOD CRAZY SERIES.
This is Blood Crazy: Aten Unbound, and it will be published in September 2026.
Continuing the story from Book Three, Nick Aten and his crew set out for New Blood City, a metropolis run by the rational-minded Creosote-Plus Types, which has electricity, hospitals and all the attributes of civilisation, so they’ve been told. Familiar characters from the first three novels reappear – Sarah, Nick’s partner; Jack, Tamsin and Piper the dog; Martin Del-Coffey and Herman…and, of course, the ominous, intimidating Tug Slatter, whose brutal presence will be keenly felt as the drama unfolds.
The team hope to form a new alliance and secure the future of their community at Kirk Sutton, with fresh supplies of food and other provisions. But the journey proves fraught with unexpected encounters and hair-raising confrontations. Often, the line between friend and foe is blurred, and other agencies pursue their own agendas for control of dwindling food supplies. Physical and mental peril lurks at every step, and the traditional enemy of old-style, batshit-crazy Creosotes is far from vanquished. And at the end of Nick’s dangerous journey, he will find the answer to a question that has haunted humanity since the dawn of time.
Blood Crazy: Aten Unbound is a substantial, meaty, twisty, vertiginous adrenalin-pumped ride! It draws on all the much-loved Blood Crazy scenarios and pushes them in surprising directions, with new possibilities for spectacular carnage unleashed to the full! Essential reading. Because, remember, ‘you, too, have a monster to kill’.
PRAISE FOR THE BLOOD CRAZY SERIES:
‘Clark certainly depicts the gravity of the situation in all its messy, gory detail. It's quite disgusting...and I mean that in the most complementary horror novel sense of the word. It's been bad enough up to now, but could the Creosotes possibly get even more monstrous than before? Oh, yes.’ – Noel Megahey, To The Last Page
‘What makes this so readable, apart from the pace, the action, the suspense, is the way the story continually evolves. There is never more-of-the-same.’ – Terry Grimwood, author of Wolf World
‘Rebellious teenagers will enjoy the vicarious revenge on their parents’ – Publishers Weekly
‘I love the apocalypse and I love anything that even vaguely resembles a zombie. I got invested in the characters pretty fast too. But where I think this book really excels is in its thought-provoking themes.’ – Kayleigh Dobbs, Happy Goat Horror
