博客來Screens go blank, radios go silent, and a government announcement is made advising everyone to stay indoors. The residents of a rural Scottish community abandon their picnics and return home. Everyone can sense that something is wrong...
The Hamlet is a new novella by Scottish author Joanna Corrance, who delivers a fabulous tale that dances between horror and science fiction with an added dash of weird.
We are introduced to inhabitants of the Hamlet including Eve, a businesswoman stranded when the planes are grounded; Robyn, an artist who accepts a commission to create a peculiar dollhouse, with dire consequences; Helen, desperate to provide content for her online followers; Jeanie, for whom monster may be more real than even she relaises; Polly, a neglected child with her own unique way of coping with reality... Together, the lives of these and others enable us to piece together what really happened in a very peculiar rural community when ’things got strange’.
