Gone Where the Goblins Go

“A mature and nuanced tale of hubris and destruction. This is Matt Betts at his finest.” – Mercedes M. Yardley Bram Stoker award-winning author. In the near future Tilly a former army pilot mourning the loss of her father has been recruited by a British conglomerate to fly a rescue team into war-torn China in search of their missing conservationist and his team. Joined by an eclectic collection of misfits Tilly and her makeshift crew must brace themselves for a long slog up the forested and danger-filled Yellow River. Can anything prepare them for the genetically-altered horrors and unscrupulous folks that await them along the way? Blending military sci-fi light fantasy and a touch of horror Gone Where the Goblins Go offers a wonderfully strange blend of Apocalypse Now and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.. A perfectly gritty dystopia. Starring a true-to-life female veteran protagonist this novel seamlessly intertwines the human condition with inhuman parallels. - Dacia M. Arnold author of the Diazem Series. “Betts has created a heroine after my own heart in Tilly a grieving combat helicopter pilot in this gritty non-conforming horror military mashup. Monsters and badassery combine for a thought-provoking and compelling creature feature. Highly recommend!” - Gaby Triana author of Moon Child and editor of the Literally Dead ghost anthologies. Exciting and provocative Gone Where the Goblins Go adventures into the wilds of a war-torn world. On display—the inhumanity of humanity and the haunting question… who exactly are the real beasts? - K.P. Kulski author of Fairest Flesh. “A fun feisty adventure reminiscent of H.G. Wells’ The Island of Doctor Moreau.” – Darker Fables. “Deftly merges and challenges many sci-fi subgenres yet the undeniably fresh plot unfolds smoothly. Recommended for fans of biopunk and military sci-fi though honestly any devourer of adventure books would love this. – Book Nerdection
