THE WRITING ON THE WALL
______________________________
What if you only had as many days left to live as there are letters in your name?
What if an invisible hand shaped your destiny?
What if your night terrors were real?
These and other questions are posed in The Writing on the Wall, a collection of what might loosely be described as 'weird fiction': strange happenings, dangerous artefacts, curses, cannibals and witches. The stories tell of a world where no one is quite who you think they are and nothing is quite what it seems.
The collection comprises six short tales plus the terrifying novelette-length title story. Also included is the prize-winning 'The Black Dog', a spine-chilling ghost story with a traditional edge that has been described as being 'in the style of M.R. James'.
Prepare for chills and terror as you encounter the unusual, the unsettling and the downright horrific in The Writing on the Wall. Light the lamps. Lock the door. And whatever you do, don’t look behind you.

Praise for The Writing on the Wall
'Morrigan writes for a 21st century audience — she uses modern, realistic, yet intelligent dialogue ... and the most important thing of all: strong, character-driven plots. I'm not sure how long she's been around, but with quality writing like this, I feel she'll have a good chance of being around for a long time yet.'
— Jennifer Mosher
'The collection of short stories on show here proves Morrigan is a rising talent. All a little different, but with a theme of Horror running throughout. Personal favourite was The Project ... a fantastic short story about the possible futility of life, which will stay with you long after reading!'
— Amazon.co.uk review
'Julie Morrigan once again proves that not only is she talented but she is also versatile ... Morrigan deserves all the success that a major publishing contract might bring ... I am in awe of Morrigan's talents.'
— Darren Sant, author of 'Flashes of Revenge'
'An enjoyable read. Makes you think twice about Ouija boards and joking around with curses and turning them into a game. It is a rather creepy story that will send chills through you body ... I recommend this book, not just for The Writing on the Wall, but also for the entire collection of stories.'
