A nurse fights a contagious evil unleashed by a patient's hypnosis in a mining village.
The narrative follows Ward Sister Becky as she navigates the aftermath of Ruby Dean’s treatment. A dark force has spread from the psychiatric ward to the desolate mining village where Ruby was born. Becky must rescue Ruby’s twelve-year-old daughter while dealing with the loss of her team and her unconscious fiancé, D.I. Ross. The story explores the diabolical history of the area, suggesting that the evil is not merely a metaphor but a tangible threat. England uses the setting to amplify the sense of isolation and inevitable doom. The plot moves from the clinical environment to the rural roots of the curse. This approach highlights the vulnerability of those who try to intervene in forces they do not understand. The narrative does not offer easy solutions, focusing instead on the grim reality of the situation.
The book is set in a desolate mining village, drawing on British gothic traditions of rural isolation and inherited curses. It blends psychiatric horror with supernatural elements, reflecting late twentieth-century anxieties about mental health and the unknown.
