It’s his choice to spend a holiday visiting places the families seem to remember although they’ve never been there: the dauntingly dark Boggart’s Grot, Umbrage Cove where the ocean turns voracious, Fay Woods that birds have good reason to avoid, Stalking Edge where the fog feels as solid as flesh… If he’s driven by inherited memories, what is he bringing home? If the ancestors who summoned what the sites hid couldn’t control them, can anyone?FLAME TREE PRESS is the imprint of long-standing independent Flame Tree Publishing, dedicated to excellent original writing in horror, science fiction and fantasy.
