Book of the Month: The Haar by David Sodergren.
Book Summary
"I don't fear death . . . but they do."Muriel McAuley has lived in the Scottish fishing village of Witchaven all her life. She was born there, and she intends to die there.
But when an overseas property developer threatens to evict the residents from their homes and raze Witchaven to the ground in the name of progress, all seems lost . . . until the day a mysterious fog bank creeps inland.
THE HAARTo some it brings redemption . . . to others, it brings only madness and death. What macabre secrets lie within . . .
THE HAARYou can check the trigger warnings at the bottom, or dive in blind if you prefer a surprise.
Don’t worry if you haven’t finished the book, we’ll start by chatting about whatever spooky (or not-so-spooky) reads we’re enjoying before diving into the featured title. Come for the eerie atmosphere, stay for the lively conversations and, of course, the cats, because let’s be honest, that’s why you’re really here, isn’t it?
Questions? Feel free to drop a comment or message me (Gonzalo) for more details. Hope to see you there!
