Eynhallow

This spring, I was introduced to Tim McGregor...or who I thought was Tim McGregor. His coauthoring of the Empathy Trap and the Sociopath at the Breakfast Table with his wife Jane helped me thru a harrowing time. Discovering that Tim authored his own works of fiction brought me to Eynhallow. Turns out, we are talking about two very different Tim McGregors! And to my delight, the author of Eynhallow is from Toronto! Anyhow...

Eynhallow was dark in its prose, melancholy in its telling, and i ate the whole thing up! I am not normally attracted to monster horror novels, but wow, this was something. And I was also to discover that Eynhallow is a real island in Scotland that had inhabitants (26 in fact until the 1851), but now has zero inhabitants, and is considered haunted. McGregor weaves an engaging juxtaposition of a Frankenstein novel with the lore of the island. I want more!
