"Absolutely first rate. Absolutely wonderful." - Ray Bradbury

Strange things are afoot in the Dorset fishing town of Rams Horn.

Set close to the poisonous swamps at the mouth of the River Sheep, the town has been isolated from its neighbours for centuries.
But mysterious events are unfolding... A seer who has waited for years for her drowned husband to reappear is haunted by demons, an African sailor arrives from the sea and takes refuge with a widow and her idiot daughter. Young boys plot sexual crimes and the doctor, unhinged by his desire for a woman he cannot have, turns to a medicine older than his own.

"An imaginative tour de force and a considerable stylistic achievement. When it comes to pulling one into a world of his own making, Gibson has few equals among his contemporaries." - Time Out

 "A wild, poetic exhalation that sparkles and hoots and flies." - The New Yorker
