European P Douglas

The Red Scowl European P Douglas

The Black Death is approaching... but is there something more fearful outside the walls of the village?



Outside an isolated forest community, by the forbidden cursed 'Red Scowl', tracks are discovered that resemble no known animal. Fearful of getting in trouble with the village leader, Mor and Beathan keep this discovery to themselves.



Soon, however, Mor grows more alarmed as news of a great pestilence arrives and he wonders if these two things are somehow linked. He wants to speak up -- just as he wanted to speak up when a woman he loved from afar was burned as a witch --- but Mor is a simple man, and the more cunning Beathan keeps him quiet.



Storms, murder, a witch hunt, old secrets and something monstrous in the mist follow, before a stranger comes to the village.



Is he is the devil? Does he carry the plague? Is he responsible for all the ills that have befallen them?



Most imporant of all -- did he come from within The Red Scowl?
