Dread

One year after the startling events of reader-favourites "Shed" and "Bled," we go back to the island for another startling tale, this time in the autumn of 1978."Dread" is the story of Mac and Dave McLeod, thirty-something bachelor brothers who are back in the tiny island town of Dovetail Cove after more than a decade away. They're here for a funeral, despite Mac's looming feeling that things aren't quite right in their childhood home, nor anywhere else across town. It doesn't take long for a mysterious visitor at the wake to embroil the McLeod boys and the island doc in a game of whodunit involving one of Police Chief Birkhead's unsolved files. Things get macabre when the boys discover a link to their parents in the mess. And the visitor who starts it all might just be a walking cadaver gone missing out from under the coroner's nose.
