The Gap in the Curtain
To be published on 9 November 2021.
John Buchan was a stealth writer of supernatural fiction in amongst his thrillers (The Thirty-Nine Steps) and his historical novels (Witch Wood) (actually, that’s supernatural too). The Gap in the Curtain (1932) was his last supernatural novel, in which an Einsteinian mathematician trains five guests at a country-house weekend to see one year into the future. But what will that knowledge do to them? And what will they do with what they now know?
