Visitors

by C.J. Harrington, Sarah Dodd (Illustrator), Chris Harrington (Photographer)

A spate of gruesome car crashes disturbs the peaceful English countryside. A secretive stranger arrives in the local village with a rucksack full of items for sale. Anna, the kind, sweet, 8-year-old daughter of a happy farming family, changes forever when she visits the nest of some red kites. An ornithologist receives an unnerving delivery. Four rich-kids come face to face with an unexpected horror. VISITORS is a psychologically disturbing story connected to ancient mythology and rooted in our simplest human fears. Written in sharply pared-back prose, it is a seemingly straight-forward and satisfyingly predictable “don’t go down there” horror story. But, through a subtle exploration of the destructive natures of greed, power and protection, the story ultimately insists the reader accepts a twisted, broken and disturbing form of freedom. A risk we all face right now.

A real page turner with a clever twist I didn't see coming!
