Publisher's Summary:
After being cast out from his home village, Sevim wanders through the marshes, fatally wounded and waiting for death from hunger or cold. His dying mind plays tricks on him and he imagines shapes in the mist - fantastic creatures, monsters and spirits.
One of these spirits seems more than just imaginary; it re-visits Sevim many times, talking to him, comforting him. It appears as a young boy, his name is Spall, and he is lonely. When he offers to save Sevims life, there is a catch, because Spall is no normal ghost, he is called into being by the dying dreams of men. He is a Sin Eater.

Glaister Is Losing It
I absolutely loved Glaister's horrifying and beautifully writtenHonour Thy Fatherso I decided to pick up LOSING IT in the hopes of finding a book that would be as good. Unfortunately, I was completely disappointed. Mind you, this novel isn't bad. It's too trivial and boring even to be bad. It reads more like a very rough first draft for a novel than an actual novel. The characters are very unconvincing. Their motivations remain completely unclear. At the end of the novel, the author just cuts the narrative short without explaining why these people acted the way it did. I still have no idea why any of these events happened.
The saddest thing is that there is definitely a germ of a good novel in there somewhere if only Glaister had taken the trouble of transforming this rough draft into a full-fledged work of fiction and offering some answers to the questions she raises in the novel.
Trying to be an Underworld Big Man, With a Dying Father at Home Who Knows Nothing of Your Source of Income
Ageing small time Welsh drug cartell boss Baldock, who thinks he's more important than he is, has been ripped off by an underling called TJ. Baldock lives with terminally ill wheelchair bound almost 82 year old father, who knows nothing of his son's source of income. He thinks his son is just bludging of the welfare payment he gets from the government to be his carer.
Baldock's approaching 40 himself and has plans to retire from the criminal life, he's stashed away over one hundred thousand pounds in his father's house unbeknownst to the man, who can't get out of bed without help. Baldock hears from his underlings that word on the street is questioning if he still can live up to his reputation after TJ's actions. Baldock knows he must react swiftly and brutally, so those underlings like TJ, arrested in the few years while he waits for his father to finish his final days then escapes to a warmer climate will remain afraid to grass him up. His rivals also may decide to violently take his turf if he is seen as weak. Only problem is with his father's health fast deteriorating, he's going to have leave him alone for a little while, while he tracks down and deals with TJ. Time he knows he really shouldn't be risking. But what's a drug dealer to do?
