From Bram Stoker Award-nominated author, Ross Jeffery, comes a new terror...that of being held hostage by the thing we love the most.
During the sleepy off-season in the picturesque seaside village of Polperro, Cornwall, Erik and Lara find themselves at the mercy of their grief. What was to be a time of healing from the loss of their daughter soon turns into a living nightmare when they find a pod floating in the water, containing a precious gift from the sea and foolishly decide to take it home.
But what they've invited into their lives is something unnatural, something that mimics reality as they had hoped it would be. As reality gradually slips away from the couple, they soon realise they are contending with forces more powerful than the undertows of the ocean and just as inescapable. Their grief, like the sea, will drown them if they let it.
With the unsettling folk undertones found in Robert Eggers' films, The Devil's Pocketbook shows Jeffery is a master of grief literary horror, sure to make your stomach twist.
