Thin Places (Watt)

Dan MacLean is about to discover what happens when Death herself takes a personal interest in keeping you alive.Across Scotland, mysterious deaths are piling up. In the cobbled wynds of Edinburgh, a woman with storm-dark eyes keeps appearing on Dan's ghost tours. He thought he was just a struggling comedian faking the macabre for tourists - but when ancient fae courts stir from their slumber, and a predator begins the hunt for a key, his life unravels. The worst part? That key might be Dan himself.Now, armed with sarcasm, a centuries-old trickster, and a colleague who brews terrible tea, Dan must navigate a world where folklore bleeds into reality. But fairy stories don't always have happy endings-and the Bodach Glas, Death's herald, is watching.Blending sharp wit, Scottish folklore, and the haunting atmosphere of Edinburgh, Soon Enough is an urban fantasy rooted in myth and modernity. Perfect for readers who enjoy Ben Aaronovitch's Rivers of London, Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, and Deborah Harkness's A Discovery of Witches. Enter the Thin Places - where the veil is fragile, the fae are restless, and survival is never guaranteed. Kenny Watt is a creative grafter who grew up in the Scottish Highlands and moved to Middlesbrough after a twenty-year detour in Edinburgh. He now lives there with his wife and two young daughters, dividing his time between office work, stand-up comedy, and trying to finish a cup of tea before it goes cold.He's drawn to stories where the strange and the everyday collide-where ancient things still lurk in modern places, and humour and grief often go hand in hand. He likes flawed characters, stubborn places, and dialogue that sounds like real people talking nonsense with feeling.This is his first novel. He wrote it in the gaps between work, bedtime stories, and life in all its mess.
