Offset follows a young Stick-Licker who discovers an underground obeah trade in an alternate version of the Caribbean island of Barbados, known as Bimshire.

Delvin Howell blends Caribbean folklore, family secrets, crime drama and explosive martial-arts action in The Mask of Bimshire, Book #1 of the Offset series. Includes 12 stunning illustrations by Hans Steinbach.

*****

Magic is expensive.

An underground obeah trade lies within the Caribbean island of Bimshire, where miracles are sold every day. The problem is, each one comes with a burdensome debt.

As a child, Kyle Harding thought Bimshire a frightening place. Bus stops glow. Flute music haunts the air. And the shadows themselves stalk him. With his mother dead, and a baby brother—Damien—to raise, Kyle had much to endure growing up.

But when a serial killer attacks his home, Kyle is forced down a bloody path where he discovers the history surrounding his family and the massive debts his mother left behind.

About the Author

Delvin Howell was born in Bridgetown, Barbados, in 1987. He attended Queen's College and the University of the West Indies, where the idea for Offset brewed in his mind. Shortly after, he completed the manuscript for Mask of Bimshire and won the John Wickham Award for the Frank Collymore Literary Endowment in 2010. Offset made its debut as a one-shot comic for Wunnuh Publishing's Mass Anthology, and then started an official series under Beyond Publishing Caribbean where it won a Gold Addy for publishing and design from the Caribbean Advertising Federation. Offset: Mask of Bimshire is his debut novel and he hopes to capture the Caribbean spirit with it.
