Jackson P. Brown is a writer from London, an anime and manga enthusiast, and the founder of Black Girl Writers - a mentoring programme for aspiring Black writers. After winning Penguin Random House's #WriteNow competition in 2020, her urban fantasy series, GETHSEMANE, was acquired by Del Rey UK. Set in modern London, the story follows Gerald Reaper and Amy St Clair as they solve fantastical mysteries whilst maintaining the secrecy of the city's underground supernatural community.
Dark, moody - and tremendous fun. The Reaper digs a whole new layer into the London you know, spinning myth and legend into living, breathing intrigue. * Chloe Gong, New York Times bestselling author of Immortal Longings * Darkly thrilling, bitingly funny, and intriguing from the first sentence, Brown's vision of supernatural London grabs you by the throat from page one, and doesn't let go. I devoured it. Urban fantasy fans, watch out, there's a new star on the scene... * Esmie Jikiemi-Pearson, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Principle Moments. * THE REAPER is a truly amazing first book. The worldbuilding is amazing, the story is compelling, and I enjoyed Jackson P. Brown's debut book thoroughly. Can't wait till another installment. * Charlaine Harris *
