Off the south of England, an old evil has been set free... While drilling out at sea, the ill-fated crew of a rig have released something old, something that’s been waiting to return to the surface...a hive of sea sirens; Creatures that need human hosts to survive and human faces to lure people to their demise. Kirsten Costello is a model from East London. Bored of her vacuous existence, she leaves her old life of excess behind and moves to Brighton with her cousin Simone. After a random attack one night under Brighton Pier, Kirsten becomes the object of one of the creature's obsession. Psychically linked by its scratch, she becomes a beacon for its desire to use her body as its own and be the face they need. Always knowing where she is, constantly stalking her by night, it seems there is no way to escape. With the help of Simone, her girlfriend Geena, and local Clairvoyant, Melissa Clarke, Kirsten must fight back against the creature, as it tries to drag her back down below into the depths, down into the Night Waves.

David Irons was the kid who went to his room to watch and read horror when his relatives came around. It paid off. When he left his room, he became an award-winning filmmaker and writer living on the south coast of England. His films, colorful and stylish in design, have won awards at the Cambridge Film Festival, Las Vegas VIFF Festival, and LA Independent Festival for cinematography, editing, writing, and directing. '7 Winters Alone' - a sci-fi, horror short - was a winner in David Lynch's 2014 Short Film Competition.

In 2019, David published his first novel, Night Waves, followed by Night Creepers, Polybius, and The Bloody Tracks of Bigfoot in 2020 - 2021 from Severed Press. Since then, David has become a Splatterpunk award-nominated writer for his '80s summer camp slasher, 'Don't Go To Wheelchair Camp.'

The moral of this story is to be weird and stay in your room. It pays off in the end.

This is a novel that took it's time, which made the full-octane climax even more enjoyable. A great little horror novel with a helluva ending.

Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2020
The cover image threw me; I took the background at first for a cityscape, the lights all windows and roadways and got thinking urban setting, so was then surprised to start reading and have the main character up and move from busy London to a little seaside town. Finally, I figured out the image is meant to be glittering waves, which makes more sense. But yeah, it did throw me for a while.

Anyway, so, little seaside town. Where, it so happens, an offshore rig drilling to install wind turbines has just run afoul of an unexpected blockage in the sea bed, but they power on through it. At first, seeing blackness bubbling to the surface, some of the crew think they’ve struck oil.

Boy, are they wrong! Something else has been released from a long-sealed chamber, an ancient and malevolent breed of amorphous creatures eager to lure people to their doom, stealing their likenesses and destroying the originals.

Meanwhile, Kirsten Costello, an aspiring photographer who’s found more work as a model on the other side of the camera, has had it with just being wanted for her face. She’s in for a bad surprise, then, when she finds herself the target of one of the shapeshifting sirens, who wants her for her face in a whole new, and much worse, way than ever before.

What follows is an occasionally goofy action-horror-adventure, as Kirsten, her black-sheep lesbian cousin, her cousin’s dingbat girlfriend, a horny teenage neighbor, an eccentric psychic, and the washed up alcoholic sole survivor of the offshore rig realize they might be the only ones who can stop the sirens from taking over the whole town.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thrilling from the start - and easy to read..

It’s been a long time, since I have picked up a horror novel. However I loved the fact that it was set in a retro era and a local area to me. I was drawn into the characters from the beginning, and instantly gripped by the thrilling story line. I could relate to the local landmarks and setting, making the horror more realistic ... I couldn’t put it down as I was swept along with the unfolding story...raunchy in places, but all relevant! Easy to read and a great book for horror lovers - but I definitely won’t be planning to venture beneath the pier anytime soon 😱 - this would have been a perfect storyline to make into a Friday fright-night movie - to rent from Blockbusters back in the day .....loved it!!!

Just finished the paperback version and loved it! An excellent horror novel with plenty of humour mixed in, a great plot that keeps you hooked and very believable characters. The chapters are quite short and punchy so it is perfect for taking along for commutes, but a nightmare for going to bed as you just want to keep squeezing in one more chapter! Can't wait to read Irons' next novel!
