"Had me gripped from the start... the story has a strong atmospheric setting, a protagonist you root for, and a deeply ominous feel," ★★★★★ Steve Griffin, author of the bestselling Ghosts of Alice series
"Atmospheric slow build horror... a compelling mix of folk horror, faeries, and chilling dread," ★★★★ Netgalley Review
"A beautifully crafted tale of folklore and horror," ★★★★★ Amazon Reader
A nerve-shredding slice of rural horror for fans of Adam Nevill and Andrew Michael Hurley.
Forced by his publisher to deliver a fresh manuscript by the end of the year, author Rick Rooney retreats to a secluded cottage in the West of Ireland in search of inspiration.
After a night of dabbling with a spirit board at the local pub, strange events begin to unfold at the cottage, while a menacing figure lurks in the trees outside.
When Rick digs deeper into the area's dark history, he makes a chilling discovery about a local family, a devastating fire, and a centuries-old curse. Has Rick disturbed an ancient evil, and who, or what, is stalking him now?
Some souls should never be summoned...
"A compelling mix of folk horror, faeries, and chilling dread ... formed from "found materials" - email, book manuscript, letters," for fans of Adam Nevill (The Ritual), Andrew Michael Hurley (Starve Acre), Tom Fletcher (Witch Bottle) and A.M Shine (The Creeper).
