The ghost of a beautiful young woman, Sylvie, hovers outside the window of Will Self’s study. She is seeking to influence his latest novel, before she can rest in peace.

Sylvie was a member of the WSC – a mysterious cult of charismatic writers who appear to worship Will Self. When Richard, a twenty-something idler and literary wannabe, discovers Sylvie’s dead body he gets sucked into their dark world of absinthe, cloaks and bizarre initiation rites, slowly losing his sense of perspective on the strange events that encircle him. What is the true nature of the WSC? What did they do to Sylvie? And does Richard now face a similar fate?
