description: 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.
