Abomination by Gary Whitta6/20/2023 ![]() Though many will see a late plot twist coming from a mile away, that in no way diminishes the satisfaction felt when it’s revealed. Screenwriter Whitta’s pacing is superb and more than makes up for any sacrifices to character development as he takes readers on a tense, nail-biting ride. Now, Whitta's debut novel, Abomination, takes the writer deep into the world of dark fantasy.' Fangoria 'Abomination looks to place Whitta even more prominently on the must-read map.' Daily Dead 'One of the biggest debut novels of the summer is Gary Whitta's Abomination. ![]() The results are bone-chillingly macabre, leading Alfred’s most trusted knight, Wulfric-a wildly conflicted pacifist-to abandon his idyllic postwar life and fight the uncontrollable evil that a coldly obsessed and maniacal Aethelred has unleashed. But grumblings from the Danes have the wary king on edge, and when a cache of ancient spells is discovered, he grudgingly allows his archbishop, Aethelred, to study them as a means of raising an unholy defense. In 888 C.E., after nearly 100 years of bloody battles with invading Norsemen, Alfred, England’s last remaining king, has finally established an uneasy peace. ![]() Gary Whitta is an award-winning screenwriter best known for The Book of Eli starring Denzel Washington. A reluctant knight battles an unspeakable horror in Whitta’s epic tale, a well-written debut that skillfully blends science fiction, historical fantasy, and spiritual themes. Abomination grabs you and doesnt let go.' Hugh Howey. ![]()
