Description
Set in the 1970's, Mark Kemp - a troubled artist - seeks to escape his past by moving to the seedy tenements of Edinburgh. Little does he realise that the other tenants of Starlings' Yard keep a dark secret. A secret that traps them all in a world of fear, inescapable ghosts and the sect known as Occulus. As he gets drawn deeper into the lives of the people around him he falls in love with Cassie, a wild and beautiful girl, whom he decides to paint. However, there are tragic consequences. Finding himself yet again in a situation of wanting to run, he understands - perhaps for the first time - that this is where he needs to be in order to lay his own ghosts to rest.
This is an amazingly sensitive and beautifully written book, with great depth and belief in the spirituality that it seeks to understand.
Part ghost story, part thriller, part art. It endeavors to explore the aspects of ourselves that can make us truly wicked or truly great. If you enjoy a bit of thought provoking escapism, this is one for you.
