Booksellers Notes
We came away feeling this was horror with momentum, a fast descent into chaos that still leaves space for humour and heart.
Our summary description
As Independent Scottish booksellers, we write all of our descriptions personally, we hope you enjoy this one.
The senior pupils of St Peter’s High School are on retreat at a secluded outdoor activity centre, trying to come to terms with the murder of a fellow pupil. On paper, the days are for counselling, contemplation, candid discussion, even prayer. Alongside that runs what they can get away with: booze, drugs, clandestine liaisons, and as much partying as the place will hold.
Not far away, the commanders of a top secret military experiment, long since spiralled out of control, begin to fear what they have unleashed. They believe it may be something like the forces of Hell.
Two worlds move towards each other, each with its own rules and its own versions of belief. When they meet, the clash becomes an earthly battle between science and the supernatural, philosophy and faith, civilisation and savagery.
