THE WEEJEE MAN

Rick Rooney, a novelist with a manuscript due to his publisher by year's end, withdraws to an isolated cottage in the west of Ireland hoping to find his creative spark. Readers who enjoy the countryside dread of Adam Nevill or Andrew Michael Hurley will recognise the unsettling atmosphere on offer.

One night at the local pub, Rick tries his hand at a spirit board. Afterwards, odd occurrences begin inside the cottage, and a threatening presence lingers among the trees outside.

As Rick investigates the district's past, he uncovers disturbing facts about a local family, a fire that caused terrible loss, and a curse said to be centuries old. Has he awakened something ancient, and what is hunting him now? Some things are best left uncalled.
