A note for parents
The Eye Collectors is a supernatural mystery blending urban fantasy with detective noir, best suited for older teens. While the core premise involves a ritualistic murder with graphic elements (eyes removed), the violence is not gratuitous and the story emphasizes investigation and character over gore. The book explores themes of acceptance, duty, and moral ambiguity, with protagonists who demonstrate integrity and growth despite institutional and personal pressure.

When Danesh Shahzan gets called to a crime scene, it’s usually because the police suspect not just foul play but unnatural forces at play. Danesh is an Acolyte in Her Majesty’s Office of the Witchfinder General, a shadowy arm of the British government fighting supernatural threats to the realm. This time, he’s been called in by Detective Inspector Nikola Zubrasky to investigate a murder in Cardiff. The victim had been placed inside a runic circle and their eyes carefully removed from their head. Danesh soon confirms that magical forces are at work. Concerned that there may be more victims to come, he and DI Zubrasky establish a wary collaboration as they each pursue the investigation within the constraints of their respective organisations. Soon Danesh learns that there may be much wider implications to what is taking place and that somehow he has an unexpected connection. He also realises something about himself that he can never admit to the people with whom he works… Think Dirk Gently meets Good Omens!” Visit bit.ly/TheEyeCollectors Cover artwork by Alison Buck
