The Axe & Grindstone by Paul Phipps-Williams

 
Ladies and Gentlemen, last orders please.
Seriously, this could be your last ever order…

Have you ever fancied running a pub?
What about two pubs?
And what if they were in different dimensions?

Enter Mark Adams who is in serious need of a pint.

Now the fabled landlord of Peacebattle, he’s the only person who can stop the world from screaming for the rest of time.

But why chose a loser to save the world? What is the truth at the heart of the Binding Brothers’ dark religion and the monsters who thrive in its heart? And will Mark survive long enough to remember the most important advice of his entire career:

Don’t scream.
Whatever you do.
Don’t scream.




"And we keep on running. On and on and on. Around every corner and across every single bloody cobble in Dogwood Falls. Arnold's got me tossed over his shoulder, and all I can see is what we're running away from. They're coming."

Mark Adams, recently unemployed is offered a fresh start and a new job, managing a bar in the middle of nowhere. Of course there have been a few minor details about the bar kept from him, for example that it hides the doorway to another dimension where strange beings are expecting him to save the world.
Sharp wit, dark humor, and mystical beings made this story a page turner.
