The Black Pathway

In Howard Trenton's case, he may well be the first truly 'inhuman' serial killer to have ever walked the Earth...

The Black Pathway Trail is a thirty mile walk that starts in the dying coastal town of Coldsleet, and which crosses moorland, cuts through forest, and scales two mountain peaks. A hike along the Black Pathway can be highly dangerous at the best of times, but when a young, sadistic serial killer begins to prowl the trail, then that walk becomes absolutely deadly...

'The Black Pathway Trail' introduces Howard Trenton, a disturbed and unhinged serial killer, who believes himself to be an alien/ human hybrid, born from a strange and mysterious attack on his mother that occurred almost twenty years earlier. When a bright and vibrant young woman called Mary comes to share Howard's home, he is instantly attracted to her... but hell is unleashed when she spurns his advances, leading to a dramatic and terrifying hunt, high up on the 'The Black Pathway Trail'...

This edition also contains short samples from three of Marks other novels that fall within the 'dark humour' genre: 'Murderer', 'The Show Home Spree Killer', and 'Milly Flopper, Psycho Copper'.
