The Shirkers
by Charles Morton Stewart Mclellan, C.M.S. McLellan
Synopsis
"An extraordinary "thriller."
A shepherd, driven to despair by loneliness and sorrow, stabs his wife and returns to his humble cabin exactly one year later to find her body, warm and freshly bleeding, precisely where he left it".
Press Reviews
"As of this date, it is the most amazing work of its kind ever written in English. With a cast of only three people and a setting which could not be simpler, it evokes pity and terror with almost unbearable power."
