In the Bosom of the Red Flowers: The Story of Alexander Sawney Bean and His Twin Brother

By J.M. Demetrios

In 14th century Scotland, strange disappearances are taking place in the countryside. Travelers venture to the coast and never return. Someone is out there, waiting, an enemy of great intelligence--and an insatiable craving for human flesh. This is the tale of Alexander Sawney Bean, the most notorious cannibal in Scottish history, told from the perspective of his twin brother, a well-educated member of civilized Christian society. Sawney's benevolent twin recounts his own youthful admiration for his charismatic brother, which turns to horror upon realization of Sawney's demonic deeds. Embarking on a journey to find and subdue Sawney and his feared wife, Black Agnes Douglas, a seductive and powerful witch, he arrives at an astonishing place where seaside cliffs yield horrific secrets and a familiar valley blossoms with strange red flowers that radiate a mysterious warmth. In a final confrontation between piety and misanthropy, the reader is led to a shattering discovery about the identity of the twins and the true meaning of the red flowers.
