Andrew Michael Hurley has lived in Manchester and London, and is now based in Lancashire, where he teaches English Literature and Creative Writing. He has had two collections of short stories published by Lime Tree Press. The Loney is his first novel - it was first published in October 2014 by Tartarus Press, a tiny independent publisher based in Yorkshire, as a 300-copy limited-edition.
Modern classics in this genre are rare, and instant ones even rarer; The Loney, however, looks as though it may be both - Sunday TelegraphThe Loney is a stunning novel - about faith, the uncanny, strange rituals, and the oddity of human experience. Beautifully written, it's immensely entertaining, but also deep and wide. A moving evocation of desolate wilderness and a marvel of complex characterization,The Loney is one of my favorite reads of the past couple of years.A modern classic: superbly eerie, beautifully human and immensely readable.A thrilling first novel - Publishers Weekly
