A recently ordained priest at a small\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaryland parish, Father Ryan has no idea why His Eminence would want to meet\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehim. When he arrives, the Cardinal opens by laying out Father Ryan’s past as an\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFBI analyst. It seems a priest has gone missing, and the case is…unusual.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeeks ago, Constable Miriam Rideout from the Royal\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNewfoundland Constabulary fielded a frantic call from a priest on a remote\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNewfoundland island. He begged for help, but then the line went dead, and no\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eone has since been reported missing. When permission to perform a wellness\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003echeck is denied by her superiors, Miriam takes some vacation time and books a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eticket on the ferry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrown together with friendly but cagey locals, Miriam and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFather Ryan soon learn that something about the island isn’t right. There’s a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efishing port without boats, a town with no stores and no cars, and strange,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebulbous purple wildflowers are growing everywhere. The two don’t trust each\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eother, but they begin to learn that an alliance, however uneasy, is a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003enecessity. Because something evil lurks beneath the island—something ancient,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eeternal, hungry—and neither it nor the uncanny islanders have any intention of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eletting these newcomers leave. A growing sense of dread intensifies until it\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eexplodes in this mystery turned nail-biting gothic horror.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor: Gretchen McNeil\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHorror \u0026amp; ghost stories\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ch5\u003ePublished on 1 Sep 2026 by Black Crow Books.\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHardback\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Gretchen McNeil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57340858958202,"sku":"9781805530299","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/4125\/files\/9781805530299.jpg?v=1790984570","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.co.uk\/products\/we-are-for-the-dark-9781805530299","provider":"Belfast Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
