The Slaughter Girls Book 1: Welcome To Quillem

Have you ever seen the film Brigadoon, where they have this quaint little Scottish village which only appears once every hundred years or so? Forget that, this is Quillem and if you’re looking for a happy ending, then this is not the place for you.Now you’re sitting there reading this wondering why the hell was I asking if you’d seen that film?Well, there is one small similarity; Quillem only exists to those it wants. It sits in broad daylight staring one and all right in the face, but it only those which the village wants who are allowed entry. There is only one known written record of Quillem, the Domesday Book of 1086 reads:Quillem is a tiny hamlet in the south Cornish countryside, a place where nothing special can be spoken of, there are sixteen homes, a bakers, a butchers and a blacksmiths. The people of Quillem are a solitary lot with no wish of the outside world. That being said no one we know of that has visited the hamlet has ever returned. The only known record we have is a letter received by Mrs Smith from her daughter.Dear Mother,I miss you deeply but I shall not be returning home as I have found my way in Quillem and could not be happier. There is a darkness here which matches my own.Goodbye Mother.Sally Smith (soon to be Mrs Slaughter.)
