Witch Bottle

A deeply atmospheric literary horror novel about the nature of repressed guilt, grief and fear. Daniel once had a baby brother, but he died, a long time ago now. And he had a wife and a daughter, but that didn't work out, so now he's alone.

The easy monotony of Daniel's job demands nothing from him other than dealing with unreasonable customer demands and the vagaries of his enigmatic boss. But things are changing. Daniel's started having nightmares, seeing things that can't possibly be there - like the emaciated giant which is so real he swears he could touch it . . . if he dared. Or the ghost of a man with a black bag over his head.

It's not just at night bad things are happening, either, or just to him. People are uneasy, seeking unlikely solutions like witch bottles, protective wards, to keep harm at bay.

But not everyone's happy to find people meddling with witch-bottles. Things are about to get very unpleasant.
