A review by kybrz
This Plague of Souls by Mike McCormack

4.0

Dark and brooding, with a tremendous amount of style, McCormack details a few days in the life of Nealon, who has recently returned home from prison to an abandoned house in western Ireland. Greeting him at his house is a phone call from an unknown number, kicking off an unsettling but subtle thriller that takes place more or less across 3 scenes. Steeped in ambiguity, the book requires full attention but pays off as disparate threads converge and a more clear picture of truth emerges, all set against the backdrop of a worldwide terror attack.
