The Forty Names: Book One, The First Threshold is the beginning of an epic historical supernatural saga rooted in Black memory, Caribbean inheritance and the African diaspora, packed with witches, duppies, dangerous women, family secrets, sex, scandal, wicked humour, stolen faces, hungry mirrors and ancestors who have absolutely no intention of minding their business.

From nineteenth-century Kingston to the glittering, dangerous nightlife of 1920s Paris, five Names are about to wake.

River Mouth. Sweet Mouth. Salt Eye. Night Drum. Mirror Skin.

Five have answered.

Thirty-five remain.

And Vale House has started counting.

Welcome to Vale House.

Behave yourself.

It won’t. 🖤
