A dark shape now stood in those choppy dark waters. A horse. A black one, large as she'd ever seen, with a mane that poured down its neck.
Genevieve hoped a trip to the Scottish village of Fonniskie would help her reconnect. But her vacation turns out to be less than relaxing: the nearby loch holds a dark secret, and Genevieve finds herself haunted by a relentless pursuer whose obsession means he will do anything to possess her—even kill.
Blending ancient folklore with modern alienation, Anthony Engebretson's eerie debut novella will make you question what it really means to be human.
Praise for Sair Back, Sair Banes:

Obsession, grief, and a family curse, all centered around a tiny town on the edge of a Scottish loch. In his debut novella, Sair Back, Sair Banes, Engebretson delivers a folkloric feast, featuring the shape-shifting kelpie. I loved it!
