AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Victoria Scott, scientist and hardened sceptic, accepts a job at an isolated weather station in the Norwegian Sea. But there are shadows outside her cabin window, rumours about a hag that visits in nightmares, and disturbing sense of familiarity in the deep, haunted forest: almost as if she has a connection with the island and its past. (Libraries Australia record).
