Synopsis
Britain of the not-too-distant future is a country at war with itself. After years of anarchy and chaos, bloodthirsty gangs and citywide destruction, The Party are now fighting to restore order through whatever means necessary - the fist, the bullet and even the terrifying practice of The Wash. It is a war between the lawless and their self-appointed judges, and neither side will relent until the other is destroyed. After an attack on their headquarters, a small band of Party members flee across the country, seeking refuge in a safe house deep in the snowy forests around Bleeker Hill. But as they near their destination, it soon becomes clear that the enemy they are running from may not be the biggest threat they will face. Because Bleeker Hill is far from safe... and they are not alone. As night closes in and the tensions within the group threaten to spiral out of control, each of them is soon forced to face a nightmare from which it might not be possible to escape. Bleeker Hill has a dark history and many stories to tell, and it will be heard... Bleeker Hill is a fast-paced thriller dealing with the dynamics of a strange dystopian society that blends into a paranormal horror story. It will appeal to fans of both of these genres, and will also be enjoyed by fans of Russell's first books, Silent Bombs Falling on Green Grass and Stone Bleeding, the second of which Bleeker Hill can be read as a follow-up to. The book also takes inspiration from George Orwell's 1984 and The Shining by Stephen King.

Review
"Bleeker Hill will delight fans of dystopian literature." - Portland Book Review
"Mardell's language has a cinematic quality to it that would make BLEEKER HILL well-suited for adaptation to the big screen.
The ugliness and terror of a world gone horribly awry is sobering and fans of dystopian and horror novels will love it." - IndieReader
"This is a riveting book that balances the horror of a broken country and the lengths at which a man will go to survive, with a subtle line of supernatural terror. Where Russell excels is in his ability to infuse the story with an intelligent look at psychological and moral dilemmas that face our rag tag group of survivors, while still maintaining a thoroughly enjoyable read." - Ginger Nuts of Horror
"From the first page, over the muddy roads, I was hooked, completely. If we are going to have an apocalypse, and the world is going to go all dystopian and sideways, Bleeker Hill is how I would imagine it would be. Horrific. Frightening. Savage. Chaotic.
Looking for a read on the dark side filled with realistic characters who often communicate with snarky dialogue, probably hiding their fear through attitude? This might be for you, especially if you have no problem sleeping with the lights on for a few days!" 5/5 - Tome Tender
