Sheep (novel)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sheep is a horror novel by British author Simon Maginn. It was originally published by Severn House in 1995, reissued in paperback by White Wolf in 1997, and is now out of print.
[edit] Plot summary
The story is about a young family who move to rural Wales to renovate a farmhouse and recover from the death by drowning of their daughter, Ruthie. While there, the family witness a series of terrible mutilations of sheep. Suspicion initially falls on the mother, but when she is hospitalised with schizophrenia the mutilations continue. Someone else is doing it. But who, and why?
[edit] Film
The novel was adapted in 2005 as The Dark. The film version is so utterly different from the book that comparison is difficult. It is a new story completely. It now involves a mythical welsh world of the dead and a visitor therefrom.
