In a Manner of Speaking

Sun, 14 Apr 2024 19:00:00 +0100

Speech therapist Isobel first met 'John' when he was about ten years old.  He had been referred to her by his family doctor.  Most of her patients came to her that way - children whose linguistic development was not progressing, to the point where firstly parents, then medical professionals, had decided to investigate further.

John was as run-of-the-mill a patient as she had ever come across.  Or at least he was at first...

A tense supernatural spine chiller - In a Manner of Speaking addresses the disturbing question - are we ever free of the sins of our past?
