Sold by Mighty Ape
On the eve of the Black Death, in the city of Siena, the bells begin to ring for the dead.
One man remains in the cathedral tower, a bell-ringer who keeps the hours long after there is no one left to hear them.
He descends, searching for what lies at the centre of the silent city, and finds a spiral that leads far beneath the stones.
The frescoes on the walls shift each day.
Figures step out from the paint.
A thirteenth figure waits.
What begins as a record of time becomes the erasure of time, as the city and the plain and every place he has known are drawn into the slow, unending ringing of a bell that no longer belongs to him.
The Ninth Bell is a novel of historical horror told with restraint and suffocating stillness, where time bends and sound becomes structure.
For readers of Max Porter, Danielewski, and Robert Aickman.
