'TEACHER WANTED AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD . . .'


After the loss of her father, Una sees a chance to escape Reykjavík to tutor two girls in the tiny village of Skálar - population just ten - on Iceland's storm-battered north coast.

But city life hasn't prepared her for the unforgiving weather nor inhospitable village life. Worse, the creaky old house where she lives is playing on her already fragile mind when she's convinced she hears the ghostly sound of singing.

Then, at midwinter, a young girl is found dead.

And one of the villagers must have blood on their hands . . .

Fiendishy clevertrilogy
A mist-shrouded blend of horror and psychological thriller . . . works in every way.The isolated village and the pre-smartphone 1980s setting createa sense of claustrophobia that combines with the villagers' secrecy and the hint of supernatural elements to infuse strong forebodingthroughout what is ultimately revealed to be a story about trust
