As a coastal village in southern England struggles to recover from the
losses of war, it is rocked by the return of a man long hoped dead: the disfigured Marwood Clay.In a place where everybody hides a guilty past, and unspeakable past crimes lurk just beneath the surface… what terrible secrets has this exile brought back with him? And what happened during his absence? While Marwood struggles to rebuild his life, newcomer Dr. Robert Temple builds a strange house for himself, on the hill overlooking the town. Clay is consumed by a nightmarish past he cannot remember, Temple by visions of a future he cannot prevent.
And then a young boy vanishes on Christmas Day. A masterpiece in jagged, haunted storytelling tinged with horror and
pathos, this acclaimed series is collected here for the first time and is for anyone who loves their tales loaded with menace and shadows!
