The Weejee Man: a nerve-shredding slice of Irish horror
NP Cunniffe, author
A nerve-shredding slice of rural horror for fans of Adam Nevill and Andrew Michael Hurley. Forced by his publisher to deliver a fresh manuscript by the end of the year, author Rick Rooney retreats to a secluded cottage in the West of Ireland in search of inspiration. After a night of dabbling with a spirit board at the local pub, strange events begin to unfold at the cottage, while a menacing figure lurks in the trees outside. When Rick digs deeper into the area’s dark history, he makes a chilling discovery about a local family, a devastating fire, and a centuries-old curse. Has Rick disturbed an ancient evil, and who, or what, is stalking him now? Some souls should never be summoned... "A compelling mix of folk horror, faeries, and chilling dread ... formed from “found materials” - email, book manuscript, letters," for fans of Adam Nevill (The Ritual), Andrew Michael Hurley (Starve Acre), Tom Fletcher (Witch Bottle) and A.M Shine (The Creepers).

Barnes & Noble

The Weeejee Man by Niall Cunniffe is a chilling tale that intertwines the haunting beauty of Ireland with spine-tingling horror. Set against the backdrop of the misty wet west of Ireland , Cunniffe weaves a narrative that grips you from the very first page. ★★★★★ Barnes & Noble Reviewer

Goodreads

I really like a book in which the main character feels really out of place and trying to understand the new reality to surround them. In The Weejee Man’s case, I really liked the narrative from Rick Rooney’s point of view and how even going back home felt like entering a new world. His story was definitely the most interesting one, along with the letters. ★★★ AitziST

Very atmospheric slow build horror, told with admirable economy and not outstaying its welcome. Formed from “found materials” - email, book manuscript, letters - we get a compelling mix of folk horror, faeries, and chilling dread. Hugely enjoyed, if only more writers could stop at novella length if that’s what’s needed to tell the story! ★★★★ Ciaran S, Reviewer

Netgalley

Great company for a few hours, is very clever written with the fractured musings of broken horror writer Rick Rooney being the major highlight. ★★★★ Tony J, Reviewer
