Follow on Google News | ![]() 'Fear Makes Killers of Us All' - Sam Duncan‘Praise the Lord and pass the ammo.’ So says Sam Duncan, ex intelligence operative and would-be Pastor, in Dark Art, the stunning sequel to The Angels’ Share from author, Mac Logan.
I ask if Mac writes from personal experience. ‘Yes,’ says Dan Grubb of Fantastic Books Publishing. ‘He writes about a world he knows well; a world he inhabited for two decades until the stresses and strains left him burnt out.’ Topical, gritty, fierce and fast-paced, Mac’s prose holds an uncomfortable mirror to modern society yet pays tribute to the often unsung majority who work hard and play fair, despite the corporate corruption they face. As Mac says, ‘There are many, many more fantastic people working than there are creeps. However, a little narcissism, bullshit and bullying goes a long way.’ And as his hero, Sam Duncan says, ‘Fear can make killers of us all.’ Mac is a wonderful character and attaches a charitable donation to all his books and short stories. He recently went to the London Book Fair to introduce himself and his work to the literary world. Many a head was turned as, Mac says, 'I was the only kilt wearing Scotsman in the place.'
