520    "This best-selling debut by an award-winning writer is 
       both an eerie contemporary ghost story and a dread-
       inducing psychological thriller. Maggie is a successful 
       young artist who has had bad luck with men. Her last put 
       her in the hospital and, after she's healed physically, 
       left her needing to get out of London to heal mentally and
       find a place of quiet that will restore her creative 
       spirit. On the rugged west coast of Ireland, perched on a 
       wild cliff side, she spies the shell of a cottage that 
       dates back to Great Famine and decides to buy it. When 
       work on the house is done, she invites her dealer to come 
       for the weekend to celebrate along with a couple of women 
       friends, one of whom will become his wife. On the boozy 
       last night, the other friend pulls out an Ouija board. 
       What sinister thing they summon, once invited, will never 
       go. Ireland is a country haunted by its past. In Billy 
       O'Callaghan's hands, its terrible beauty becomes a force 
       of inescapable horror that reaches far back in time, 
       before the Famine, before Christianity, to a pagan place 
       where nature and superstition are bound in an endless 
       knot"--|cProvided by publisher.
