The Bunker

‘The Bunker’ is the darkness we all hold within ourselves, where we bury our guilt and our fear. It is the place where the bad things grow. This novel is the story of how one man tried to escape from his own bunker.

Eighteen years ago, in a quiet village named Wantsum, an innocent child was kidnapped. For all those years Mark has been haunted by one thought; that even as he was held at the point of a gun, he could and should have saved that child. But when Mark does return to Wantsum to try to make amends, yet more horror awaits as the evil that has been waiting for him is unleashed, threatening ruin.

But how do you save your soul when you're guilty? As Mark confronts his own demons, he discovers ideas that challenge his own assumptions, and finds that in despair there is hope as he sees the dark world around him in a new light.

'The Bunker' is not an easy read and not designed to be. It is an honest attempt to explore the subjective reality that we humans, experience, and how we interact with this. If the last sentence intrigues you, buy this book. If, on the other hand, this sounds like pretentious rubbish to you, perhaps you'd be better off with a Dan Brown book instead.
