Something might be listening. . .Following a failed pregnancy, Oliver and Abby learn they will never be able to bear children of their own. Heartbroken, their marriage in decay, the couple exhaust the last of their savings and move house from London to a tiny village on the remote Isle of Man for a fresh start.Settling into a small stone cottage beside a dark woods overlooking a gray sea, their best of intentions are only too quickly dashed by cold, suffocating fog, thrashing wind and rain, and the strange folkloric traditions of the villagers themselves, including a congregation of old rusted horseshoes arranged in a crude pattern of concentric circles on their front door to greet them and mysterious runic carvings on the stone walls of their cellar.And this is only the beginning of their nightmare. For there is an unseen resident inside the stone walls of this small stone cottage beside these dark woods and this gray sea. Something moving about in its darkest corners and deepest crevices.Something that has been waiting. Patiently. An ancient evil thing. . .A darkly inventive spin on UK folklore, Sorcerie is a compulsive page turner. Mesmerizing, genuinely eerie, and ultimately terrifying. A master stroke of horror.
