A deeply atmospheric literary horror novel about the nature of repressed guilt, grief and fear. Daniel once had a baby brother, but he died, a long time ago now. And he had a wife and a daughter, but that didn' t work out, so now he' s 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. Daniel' s started having nightmares, seeing things that can' t 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. It' s not just at night bad things are happening, either, or just to him. Shaken and unnerved, he opens up to a local witch. She can' t 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 everyone' s 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 Hurley' s The Loney and Starve Acre.
In my opinion Tom Fletcher is the most exciting new horror writer in years. - Mark Morris, author of The Winter TreeFletcher has a most distinctive voice, and convinces me that there may be some truth at last in those rumours about a renaissance in British supernatural fiction. - Lisa Tuttle, The TimesFletcher' s imagination is truly boundless - Avid Fantasy ReviewsTom Fletcher is one of the most original and perceptive writers producing fiction in Britain today - Bookstove. com on The Thing on the ShoreFletcher' s fluid handling of his subject and the atmosphere he' s imbued it with is magnificent. Thoroughly recommended. - Speculative Assessments on GleamA staggeringly brilliant, witty, scary and confident debut - Alan Kelly, 3 A. M. Magazine on The LeapingFletcher' s Ravenglass invokes an overwhelming sense of claustrophobia . . . it' s this gloomy sense of atmosphere with its overwhelming foreboding of something really, really nasty that' s about to happen that makes The Ravenglass Eye such a compelling read - The Horror Hothouse
