The Trapper they called him, that man Joseph Tredinnick, late of Porthcothan Bay, Cornwall- and, my god, what an inhospitable spot that was in those days!

This is a dark, Gothic tale about a Cornish misfit by the name of Tredinnick: a rabbit trapper by trade, and a trapper of souls. It is part horror story, part phantasmagoria - you will be dragged against your will to witness his descent into madness, and start to question what is real and what is not.

"This tall tale-and-a-half about the cruelties of a God-besotted Cornish rabbit trapper, ever shifting in its narrative perspectives, asks searching questions about truth and virtue, the competing claims of reality and illusion. In its fusion of contemporary concerns around God, delusion and human appetite, it calls to mind the music of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. If there's to be a prize fight between Ingmar Bergman and Billy Graham, who would ever dare to predict the outcome?" - Ian Hargreaves, former Head of BBC News, editor of the Independent
