GRAPHIC NOVEL
A brand new supernatural graphic novel that is absolutely loaded with haunting visuals set in a misty isolated town off the coast of County Antrim. It’s 1711, a woman with demons of her own –…
Absolute snaps to @drandrewsneddon.bsky.social and co-author Dr Victoria McCollum for taking a murky bit of nordie history, which shows the damage one attention-seeking 'ho can do) and making it into something to catch the imagination of younger wans

Flyleaf with ownership inscriptions
Engraved title page from 1650
This copy of 'Geographia Generalis' from 1650 seems to have passed through a few hands before ending up with Edward Stillingfleet, whose 10,000 books have been on our shelves since we opened in 1707.
