It began with the biggest tsunami since the dinosaurs. Half of Britain is wiped out and what’s left is deadly jungle. Ian C Douglas’ new tech thriller, The Ravenshead Terrors, paints a near-future where global warming transforms the UK into an archipelago. And it’s teeming with crocodiles, sharks and pythons. Worse, survivors are succumbing to a zombie-like disease carried by mushroom spores. The only security comes from the Sons of Noah, an extremist militia.

In this unnerving landscape, the reader meets Matt, a fourteen-year-old just trying to make it to adulthood. With his wayward cousin, Holli, he stumbles upon the Ravenshead Clinic. Half-human, half-animal hybrids are being secretly bred here. He helps them escape, but a teenage cyborg is on their tail with orders to kill.

Matt, along with the wolflike Champ, Leon the lizard boy and bug-eyed Pappy, faces dangerous beasts, cannibal kids, super-lightning not to mention the mushies. Will any of them live long enough to stop the S.O.N.s?

This new book explores the perils of climate change, extremism and prejudice and is not a read for the fainthearted.

The Ravenshead Terrors will be published by IFWG International Publishing on August 17th 2026. Keep an eye here for pre-orders, launch party dates, press releases.
