About the Book

In 1660, a man is wrongly executed for signing the death warrant of Charles I. While awaiting execution, he asks to speak with a priest, to whom he declares a curse on the village that betrayed him. The priest responds with a counter-curse, leaving just one option to nullify it. Over four centuries later, Faith and James move to the country to start a new life and a family. They learn that their village lives under the curse uttered by the hanged man. Could their arrival be connected? Faith and James fear that their choice of a new home is no coincidence. Unexplained events hint at threats or warnings to leave, including the slaughter of their hens, an attic break-in and other menacing incidents. They become convinced the village continues to live under the curse despite denials from their new friends. Who can they trust, and who are potential enemies?

About the Author :
Owen W. Knight writes contemporary and speculative fiction. He creates worlds based on documented myths, with elements of dystopia, mystery and science fiction to highlight the use and abuse of power and the conflicts associated with maintaining ethical values. His works include The Visitors, a grounded sci-fi first contact novel, Another Life, a retelling of It's a Wonderful Life for the 21st Century and The Invisible College Trilogy, an apocalyptic dystopian conspiracy tale for young adults, described as 1984 Meets the Book of Revelation. Owen lives in Essex, England, close to the countryside that inspires his writing.

Review :
"I was totally absorbed in the compelling narrative of Conditions Are Different After Dark. Owen Knight's sinister weaving of present day lives with events during the Civil War is absolutely fascinating. I love the sense of place in this book, I learnt a great deal about that period in history, and I was drawn into the menacing intrigue by characters who are not all that they seem. I thoroughly recommend this read, particularly if you are looking for a mind-blowing denouement." C Malone, author of The Glitch series.
