The Devil's Pocketbook

by Ross Jeffery, Josh Malerman (Introduction), DarkLit Press

Overview

Erik and Lara are in mourning for their daughter, who was born "incompatible with life". To get away from their suffocating grief and the ever-present shadow their daughter has cast in their lives since passing, and desperately trying to recover their increasingly rocky relationship, they take a trip to the seaside town of Polperro, in Cornwall. But no sooner have they arrived, than they realize that their grief cannot be so easily eluded. Drawn to the waters, Erik and Lara discover a large Devil's Pocketbook, and inside: the miracle child they could never have. Scylla.
