📝 Description: When Old Gods Live

Some tales tell that the Norse conquered Argyll with barely a whimper. Others tell of Hard fought battles, hardship and loss. The Sagas say that many were abandoned, left for dead and had to survive in the cold harsh landscape of Western Argyll for months till rescued. A new life together and a fresh start welcome Mae and Rob to their new home in Argyll. In the Heartland of historical Scotland they settle in to enjoy the happy home that they have always wanted. But there is something unusual about their new home and whilst Rob seeks answers to the puzzles surrounding them Mae looks to secure her sanity and make this the dream home that she has always wished for. Robs tantrums, educated Rats, deluded Nurses, stuffed birds and ancient gods that want to live again stand in her way but Mae will have her Idyllic home no matter who or what she has to kill to get it.

The catalog description presents a sparse but intriguing premise, relying heavily on its eccentric cast of obstacles like educated rats and deluded nurses. This approach suggests a tonal blend of psychological horror and dark fantasy rather than pure cosmic terror. While the concept of ancient gods interfering with domestic bliss is fresh, the lack of detailed plot points in the source material makes it difficult to judge the execution fully. It may not suit readers seeking deep historical accuracy or traditional ghost story atmospherics. Instead, it targets those who appreciate a chaotic, character-driven narrative where the horror is personal and visceral. The edition's own description is thin, so judgment rests on the promise of Mae’s violent journey rather than established lore.
