ISLAND author Rakie Keig will be speaking about her third full-length novel, Home Ground, at the Henry Bloom Noble Library in Douglas next month.
The event will take place on Wednesday, May 9, from 7.30pm and is expected to finish at 9.30pm.
The story, a horror tale set in the Isle of Man in 1940, sees the main character, English-born Allan Hendricks, fleeing Germany and ending up being placed in an internment camp in Kirk Michael.
The decidedly dark tale unfolds to feature an unwell Romanian, zombies, late-night medical experiments in the camp’s medical facility, missing internees and a disease that reanimates the dead.
Her first full-length novel to be published was Terror Island in 2007, followed by Moths in 2010.
Refreshments will be available at the talk. Tickets are free but must be obtained in advance from the ground floor counter of the library, in Victoria Street.
• Home Ground, which was published in February, will be launched in the island with an event at the Jabberwocky Cafe, in Duke Street, Douglas, next Thursday (April 19) from 7pm to 9pm.
