puddle people by eamonn bradley

Dark urban scene with flooded street, a monstrous creature with a wide open mouth and large eyes emerging from the water, and rain falling. The title "Puddie People" appears at the top, and "Famonn Bradley" at the bottom.

This ripping yarn of a novel takes you to Northern Ireland, where a madcap inventor loses his way when seeking to make the world a better place. Cue a series of creepy, outrageous events at the hands of a wild and colourful cast—including a rather sinister AI assistant—that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the bitter end.

A skull with the words 'KINGDOM HORROR COLLECTIVE' written below it in stylized text.
Puddle People is a crazy ride into dark humor, framed with real world concerns, and is entirely apropos in this time of overly well-to-do messiah-complexed missionaries.

A dark and humerous body horror that made me think of a modern day Frankenstein.
— TOM RAMEY
Puddle People is a cracking piece of sci-fi horror that fans of the genre will mop up.
— Daniel Lorn, authoor of RED
