Genevieve hoped a trip to the Scottish village of Fonniskie would help her reconnect. But her vacation turns out to be less than relaxing: the nearby loch holds a dark secret, and Genevieve finds herself haunted by a relentless pursuer whose obsession means he will do anything to possess her-even kill.
Blending ancient folklore with modern alienation, Anthony Engebretson's eerie debut novella will make you question what it really means to be human.
"Obsession, grief, and a family curse, all centered around a tiny town on the edge of a Scottish loch. In his debut novella, Sair Back, Sair Banes, Engebretson delivers a folkloric feast, featuring the shape-shifting kelpie. I loved it!"
-- Catherine McCarthy, author of Immortelle
"Melancholy and magical, Engebretson's debut novella is a whole, misty mood, steeped in lore and loneliness. Atmospheric and compelling, a thoroughly recommended read."
-- Gemma Amor, Bram Stoker Award nominated author of Dear Laura
