He Who Has Done Evil is a chilling fusion of historical fiction and supernatural terror, where colonial sins return with teeth and claws to prove the ghosts of empire do not rest, they hunt.

In 1914, Irish policeman Woodrow Tierney joins the British war effort and is sent to Antwerp. Before reaching the front lines, he is assigned a secret task: interrogate two veterans of the Anglo-Zulu War who claim a Zulu demon is hunting and killing the last survivors of the Battle of Rorke’s Drift.

As the German assault on Antwerp intensifies, Woodrow questions the men in the ammunition vaults beneath the fort’s gun turrets. Their account of the demon begins to mirror the nightmares that have been tormenting him.

Told through letters, transcripts, and emails, framed by a present-day discovery in the Imperial Conflicts Archive in London,
He Who Has Done Evil follows Woodrow as the siege collapses and a past he cannot escape closes in.

He Who Has Done Evil is a relentless, atmospheric folk horror of colonial reckoning and supernatural vengeance. Perfect for readers of Adam Nevill and David Barnett.
