Haunting tale of two worlds, reality and legend.

This book would be a good read for someone who enjoys a suspenseful and eerie novel. The author does an excellent job blending the boy narrator's two worlds together, leaving readers questioning what is real and what is not. The unique feature of this book is the way it seamlessly merges the supernatural with the real-life political and familial tensions of Northern Ireland during the mid 20th century.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
