A water-borne blight hits a remote community on a small island on the edge of the Northern
Atlantic. The islanders are a strange mix some island-born some seeking a slower life away
from the modern world. All have their own secrets some much darker than others. Rumour says
the illness may be a water-borne neural infection from the shellfish farm a case of mass
hysteria - or even a long-buried curse - but when ferry service fails inconvenience grows into
nightmarish ordeal as the outwardly harmonious fabric of the community is unnervingly torn
apart. A haunting suspenseful tale of isolation and dread within a small island community
-from the author of A Boy and his Dog at the End of the World perfect for fans of The Loney
and Station Eleven.
