“Conviction and passion that really shines through. Excellent set-pieces, and a breathlessness that comes into the prose. Strong and thoughtful horror"
Russel D McLean
Author of ‘Ed’s Dead’
A fractured mind can be infectious, as one family are about to discover in devastating fashion. Born from 17th-century witch trials, an unconscious malevolent inheritance is unleashed, raging through a bloodline to modern-day London. What will it take for them to finally escape their demons?
KNOTWEED is a chilling, propulsive, psychological horror story that confronts fear, heredity, prophecy, and the role of the church in breaking people. Dave Elliot's debut novel has now been unleashed and is available to order in both paperback and digital eBook (ePub) format via the Book Shop now.

Bringing Nightmares to Life
Dave Elliot is an independent author specialising in horror fiction. With a passion for creating spine-chilling stories, believably flawed characters, and authentic world-building that will leave you reeling, Dave's writing will take you on a journey into the darkest realms of the imagination.
Born in Berkshire in 1979, father to three beautiful children, and living with his soulmate, Amy, Dave continues to work in his other passion hospitality, and has done so since getting his first job as a kitchen porter aged 14. He has an encyclopaedic knowledge of film, a deep passion for horror novels, and a genuine love of music. These obsessions often find their way into his work for those with a keen eye on an easter egg. Dave is currently working on his second novel, "The Feast."
"Horror for me is the most wonderful genre, whatever the medium. Great horror has to have high stakes and genuine scares, but most importantly, it needs to have a heart. As a machine for empathy and analogy, no other genre has as much visceral power to get under your skin and live with you long after you've put it down." Dave Elliot
