MAW is a haunting Autumnal horror novella set in the Scottish Highlands. It is a story about family, about the distances between us and the ties that bind us.
 
When Maisie receives a call for help from her grandmother Cora, she returns reluctantly to the remote country house in which the woman she and her sister know as Maw raised them in their mother's absence. It's Oct 30th and it's bad enough she was back just a few weeks ago for Maw's birthday and wasn't planning on returning until Christmas - and only then if she couldn't come up with a good enough excuse - it also means she's probably going to miss the Halloween party she was looking forward to in Edinburgh.
 
With night closing in, she arrives to find Maw missing and her granduncle Jordie, Maw's older brother, bedridden and acting even more mental than usual. As she waits for Maw to return and explain just what the hell is going on, she finds Maw's phone, left behind, and also her journal, which contains some very worrying entries about what has been happening in this house perched on the edge of the wilderness.
 
MAW combines folk and cosmic horror, a little gore, a touch of humour, and a meditation app that might not be all that user-friendly. Seasons pass...leaves fall...daylight fades...but family is forever.
