'Hauntingly delicious' – Sunday Post
In a darkening season in a northern city, Daniel, Orla and Tom's lives intersect through a peculiar flatshare and a stolen nineteenth-century diary written by a dashing gentlemen who may not be entirely dead. An interwar-themed Hallowe'en party leads to a series of entanglements; a longed-for sexual encounter, a betrayal, and a reality destroying moment of possession.
As the consequences unfurl, Bitterhall's narrative reveals the ways in which our subjectivity tampers with the notion of an objective reality, and delves into how we represent – and understand – our muddled, haunted selves.
