This Plague of Souls

Released from jail, Nealon returns to the family home but finds himself alone in an empty house. No light or heat, no sign of his wife or child, it’s as though the world has forgotten that he ever existed. Except, that is, for a persistent caller, a man who seems to know everything about Nealon’s life, his trouble with the law and, more importantly, what has happened to his family. All Nealon has to do is talk. From the award-winning author of Solar Bones, This Plague of Souls is a taut and darkly funny examination of how a man might acknowledge the dangerous truth of his life if he is to make peace with his own past and family.
