    About this ebook

    VISITORS is a psychologically disturbing story connected to ancient mythology and rooted in our simplest human fears.

    A spate of gruesome car crashes disturbs the peaceful English countryside.

    A secretive stranger arrives in the local village with a rucksack full of items for sale.

    Anna, the kind, sweet, 8-year-old daughter of a happy farming family, changes forever when she visits the nest of some red kites.

    Four rich-kids come face to face with an unexpected horror.

    Written in sharply pared-back prose, it is a seemingly straight-forward and satisfyingly predictable "don't go down there" horror story. But, through a subtle exploration of the destructive natures of greed, power and protection, the story ultimately insists the reader accepts a twisted, broken and disturbing form of freedom. A risk we all face right now.
