About Angela Marsons
Angela Marsons was born and raised in the Black Country
and still lives there, along with her long-term partner, as well
as a bouncy Labrador and a potty-mouthed African Grey
parrot. Although she has been writing since her early teens,
Silent Scream is her first novel.
Silent Scream excerpt
Five figures formed a pentagram around a freshly dug mound. Only they knew it
was a grave.
Digging the frozen earth beneath the layers of ice and snow had been like
trying to carve stone but they’d taken turns. All of them.
An adult-sized hole would have taken longer.
The shovel had passed from grip to grip. Some were hesitant, tentative. Others
more assured. No one resisted and no one spoke.
The innocence of the life taken was known to them all but the pact had been
made. Their secrets would be buried.
Five heads bowed towards the dirt, visualising the body beneath soil that
already glistened with fresh ice.
As the first flakes dusted the top of the grave, a shudder threaded through the
group.
The five figures dispersed, their footprints treading the trail of a star into the fresh,
crisp snow.
It was done.
