Anthony has been a prisoner his entire life, sequestered away in the Nevada desert base where the good old US of A stockpiles its psychic arsenal. He is a failed experiment, a freak even among the freaks, condemned to relive the history of any object or person he touches. His life has been one long stretch of loneliness punctuated by brief moments of terror as his captors subjected him to their endless tests.
All of that is over now, Anthony has been broken out and press ganged by a furious old Russian who is determined to use his unique talents to help him find his runaway grand-daughter. At last they have come to Drywell, a ghost town in sodden New England, packed to bursting with bad memories. Anthony might be uniquely good at rooting out the past but the town’s dark secrets have no intention of coming to light.
G.D. Penman’s chilling Motherland is a deep-dive into visceral horror, untangling the twin mysteries of a missing girl and the dark past that haunts Drywell.
