The Cult of Choiche

Nothing ever happens in Hardy. Not that horror game obsessed Charlie Moran doesn't imagine it. The dead rising up, crawling at the ruins of Harding Castle.

No, nothing ever happens in Hardy.

Till the rivers floods.

Till it sweeps free anicent coffins laying in wait.

Till the dead rise and suddenly it's not a game anymore. Charlie's playing for keeps.

The Cult of Choiche is a novel about a lonely young boy and his struggle to accept himself as he his. Yet when the undead rise from their graves after almost a thousand years of imprisonment he is about to learn that the parts of himself that he keeps secret from his schoolmates, his teachers is exactly what he needs to defeat this evil. An evil led by Lucille Byrne, a eleventh century witch who along with her cult of followers discover the gift of immortality only it comes with a price. That price is a hunger for human flesh.

Dan Caffrey, playwright and co-host of The Losers' Club: A Stephen King Podcast and Halloweenies: A Horror Franchise Podcast.

"Jamie Stewart's adrenalized mashup of occultism and zombie subversion runs like a freight train (or maybe a really good runaway haunted hayride), grabbing you from the beginning with warm and relatable characters and a deep working knowledge of pop-culture history, then heaping on scares that remain refreshingly stone-faced and straightforward. The perfect read for anyone wanting a more serious Shaun of the Dead or a funnier 'Salem's Lot."

From Bethany Mitchell, book blogger

"The novel encompasses elements of historical, folklore, and religious horror as well as providing a new take on the zombie sub-genre. It's contains characters that represent members of the LGBTQ community. It also features multiple characters from all walks of life that showcase the society of Ireland during 2002, when the book is set.

For me, this book felt nostalgic. It felt like that kind of book I read when I was younger and made me fall in love with the world of horror. Like your first ever Stephen King book. It was as if I was reading it a second time, despite the fact the book isn't even out yet! That's what makes it so unique and memorable to me."
