About this title

From the Back Cover:

David Fox, fast approaching his fortieth birthday, is in the throes of a mid-life crisis. That is until he finds a message in a bottle whilst walking on the beach. The message, written in 1953, is from a boy called John Marshall who claims his father is trying to kill him. And with a new, invigorating purpose to his life David is compelled to find out what happened all those years ago.

The truth is more bizarre and horrific than he could ever have imagined. At the heart of his investigations is a secret society called the Flux and each of its members possesses unique and formidable supernatural powers. And they want the bottle...

"Mark Morris is one of the finest horror writers at work today, and 'The Secret of Anatomy' is his most disturbing work to date. Finely crafted and powerfully written, it is an apocalyptic journey into dark and forbidden territory"
