Maggie's Grave: A Horror Novel by David Sodergren

CONTENT WARNING: Extreme horror isn't for the faint of heart. These books may contain graphic violence, disturbing imagery, explicit subject matter, and other potentially upsetting content. Reader discretion is strongly advised. Proceed at your own risk.

The small Scottish town of Auchenmullan is dead, and has been for years. It sits in the shadow of a mountain, forgotten and atrophying in the perpetual gloom.

Forty-seven residents are all that remain.

There's nothing to do there, nothing to see, except for a solitary grave near the top of the mountain.

MAGGIE WALL BURIED HERE AS A WITCH reads the faded inscription.

But sometimes the dead don't stay buried. Especially when they have unfinished business.

"Relentless, atmospheric folk-horror. Enhanced by Sodergren's gift for eerie settings and relatable characters, Maggie's Grave is the perfect way to kick off your spooky season reading."

Laurel Hightower, author of WHISPERS IN THE DARK and CROSSROADS

"Maggie's Grave is everything I love about a good horror story; slithery as a snake, with a nasty wee bite that will sting for a while. Compelling, immersive, and unashamedly Scottish."

Gemma Amor, Bram Stoker Award nominated author of DEAR LAURA

Author Biography:

David Sodergren lives in Scotland with his wife Heather and his best friend, Boris the Pug. Growing up, he was the kind of kid who collected rubber skeletons and lived for horror movies. Not much has changed since then. Since the publication of his first novel, The Forgotten Island, he has written and published a further eight novels, including the gore-soaked folk-horror Maggie's Grave and the romantic and disturbing The Haar.
