Witch Bottle

Witch Bottle by Fletcher, Tom. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781848662605.

A deeply atmospheric literary horror novel about the nature of repressed guilt, grief and fear: Unsettling, horribly gripping and touched with genius says the Daily Mail Daniel once had a baby brother, but he died, a long time ago now. And he had a wife and a daughter, but that didnt work out, so now hes alone. The easy monotony of his job as a milkman in the remote northwest of England demands nothing from him other than dealing with unreasonable customer demands and the vagaries of his enigmatic boss. But things are changing. Daniels started having nightmares, seeing things that cant possibly be there - like the naked, emaciated giant with a black bag over its head which is so real he swears he could touch it . . . if he dared. Its not just at night bad things are happening, either, or just to him. Shaken and unnerved, he opens up to a local witch. She cant t discern the origins of his haunting, but she can provide him with a protective ward - a witch-bottle - if, in return, he will deliver her products on his rounds. But not everyones happy to find people meddling with witch-bottles. Things are about to get very unpleasant . . . Witch Bottle is literary horror at its finest, perfect for fans of Andrew Michael Hurleys The Loney and Starve Acre.
