The supernatural is perfectly normal in eccentric Hawkinge-By-Hythe. When fish rain from the sky, it just means free dinner. Only professional sceptics, the Alumière sisters—witches, according to the locals—worry there’s worse to come...
After a message from God, Reverend Gresstart enlists the righteous Mrs Pengle to spread the word. But she wants revenge more than she wants to get to heaven. As the weather worsens, literally raining cats and dogs, the Alumières race to dig up the truth. Even if no one wants them to.
With the townsfolk rioting over what the Lord wants, the Alumières have their hands full. And that’s without the mystery of the whistling well, the buried catapults, or the man raising the dead with a parrot. All while running a chemist shop and becoming honorary aunts.
Grab your best umbrella, salvation's in the air. So are fish.
The Forgotten Creatures is the third standalone adventure in this whimsically bonkers series!
Morgan Delaney is an Irish writer of dark and fantastic fiction. Like the great Irish writers, Morgan prefers to live abroad.
“I said, ‘what do you do for craic around here?’ to be friendly. I wasn’t selling anything. I certainly wasn’t soliciting anything!“ he explains.
He has lived in Ireland, Germany, Australia, Kazakhstan and Georgia, and worked, among other things, as a building engineer. One day, while he was writing a particularly outrageous cost estimate, the wind changed.
And he has been stuck like that—writing lies—ever since.
His favourite film is Terry Gilliam’s Brazil.
