The Father, the Son, and the Unholy Ghost

By Danielle McCallum

Set in 1990s Nova Scotia, THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE UNHOLY GHOST is a dark, surreal psychological novel about grief, trauma, and the things that haunt us.

Charlie is eleven when a single choice shatters his world. After failing to come home from school, a tragic accident claims the lives of his mother and sister, leaving him alone with a father whose grief turns violent. The years that follow scar Charlie in ways he cannot understand, trapping him in a home where survival becomes his only goal.

When he runs away to the rocky cliffs overlooking Fundy Bay, Charlie encounters Devilynn: a beautiful, unsettling girl who seems impossibly familiar. She appears when no one else does, understands things she shouldn't, and binds herself to him with a devotion that feels almost supernatural.

As Charlie grows older, Devilynn's presence becomes harder to escape. The line between protector and possessor blurs, and Charlie is forced to confront a terrifying question: was Devilynn ever real... or merely a symptom of his shattered mind?
