Watcher

"Let me walk with you."

Daniel Roth can "walk" in other people's skins - sharing all their senses, while remaining undetected. This unnatural ability - forged in a painful childhood, at the hands of his fervently religious Ma - inadvertently leads Daniel to a covert career with British intelligence. There he meets Agent Duncan Burke - a man willing to risk everything for the greater good - and Rebecca Pendleton, an analyst with an equally troubled relationship with faith.

It's 1999, and Daniel faces his greatest and most dangerous challenge when he is brought out of retirement to infiltrate a cult in the Forest of Dean. They worship Enochian angels and are seemingly on the verge of an apocalyptic plan. Daniel is the only one who can get close enough to stop them.
When he walks among them, Daniel will learn everything about his strange power and find something more terrifying than the devil himself.

Reviews of Watcher

"Watcher is an intriguing and intensely enjoyable story with all the right elements - a fascinating main character and a twisting and turning plot that's part spy novel, part supernatural thriller, steeped in religious mysticism. I read it in one sitting, I couldn't put it down!'
Suzanne Craig-Whytock, Editor-in-Chief of Dark Winter Lit and Author of Charybdis

"When MI5 brings ‘skin-walker’ Daniel Roth back into the fold for one last cult-related surveillance job, he’s aware that the process might kill his body, but the danger to his soul may be far greater than that. In this collaborative novella, Relph and Gostelow weave a tight, speculative tapestry as compelling as any modern thriller; Watcher deftly explores one man’s ability to slip inside other people’s minds while struggling to fully comprehend his own true nature."
Lindz McLeod, Author of 'Turducken' and 'Sunbathers'

The angels in “Watcher” are less be not afraid and more likely to make you be afraid. Relph and Gostelow propel you into a world of contradictions where nothing is as it seems, not even your own body. The character of Daniel and his unique power elevates the mythos of body-hopping to a new level of risk and intrigue. His journey confronts you with questions like what would you do to know the truth of who you are, but more importantly, do you know that once you look behind the curtain you can never face the audience again?
Elena Sichrovsky, Author of 'Eating Out Anne Sexton'

    5.0 out of 5 stars I hope there’s a sequel

    If you love a thrilling page-turner, you will want to read this book. The plot twists, the unforgettable characters, and the beautiful metaphors that brought me so close to the action all kept me on the edge of my seat. I’ve studied the Books of Enoch extensively, and the authors have written a very creative take on some of those elements. Highly recommend this!

    I’ve started the year with a few genre mashups, and WATCHER is no exception. This speculative fiction about a shadowy govt agency and a religious cult centers on a man who has the power to “walk” in other people’s skin, seeing the world through their eyes.

    Relph and Gostelow have written a thrilling story full of action, mystery, and lore, yet also took time to create detailed settings and interesting characters/backstories. Not easy to strike that balance, especially in a long novella, but they crushed it.

    This story grabbed me by the throat from the first page and didn't let go until the end. It defies genre, but if you like your fiction dark and dystopian, this book is for you. My only disappointment is that it was all over too soon - I wanted it to be at least twice or three times as long.

    What a premise: Daniel Roth can "walk" in other people's skins. The book is compelling, very dark and also poignant. My only complaint is that it was over too soon

    4.0 out of 5 stars A Gripping, Thoughtful Dive into Faith and Deception
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 18, 2025
    Verified Purchase
    There’s a lot to love in this novella. We follow Daniel Roth as he goes (quite literally) undercover to uncover the truth about an end-of-the-world cult. The story is gripping and original, offering compelling contemplations on faith, suffering, and what we owe each other and ourselves. While the journey is fascinating, the reveal and ending feel somewhat rushed, not quite sticking the landing. Still, the novella’s thought-provoking themes and strong narrative make it well worth the read.

    Watcher grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go until you've finished it. The story is compelling, the writing beautiful, the concept new and fresh and different.
    Bonus stories from each of the authors' collections at the end of this volume is - well, a fantastic bonus.
    I'd have given it 10 stars if I could.
