In EARLY DOORS, the 1st of the SHELTER stories, we’ll follow Ealga Culhoun who has fled her life in Ireland and onto the boats for London. She arrives in Shepherds Bush at the tail end of ’69 when the world has begun to move in new directions and all was changing in this pocket of London. Luckily Ealga has landed on her feet thanks to her British cousin Tommy, who’s set her up with a bedsit and a barmaid’s job at the local pub. For a wee while all seems to be go swimmingly. But soon Ealga learns that everything has it’s cost and finds herself seeking shelter at Mammy Magee’s. Will she be willing to pay the price for Mammy’s help and avenge herself in the process?

More Details about SHELTER: Early Doors

Inspired by my family history the world of SHELTER will mix folk-horror with cultural  mythology and urban unease. A community of stories of the trials faced by the immigrant women of West London. These women however are not just housewives, girlfriends or mothers. This is a world where the supernatural rubs shoulders with the mundane. Where whisper networks and the old ways control local governance and only that will see you through.

In each SHELTER story we’ll follow a local in trouble, seeking shelter and aid from Mammy and her very special girls to see what path their troubles will take. It’s a world where bright, free futures clash with the old ways and tradition. With stories of city life and vengeful ancient spirits. Of healing witchcraft and the threat of gossip. Of the true meaning of family and surviving in a patriarchal world.
