O Invisível

Portugal, 1931. Night after night, something unseen plagues Cova do Sapo, a hamlet lost among the rocks of the Serra do Alvão: the dead are disturbed in their graves and the exhausted villagers cannot sleep. The one man who might rescue them is Fernando Pessoa, the Orpheu poet, who is also a medium, an explorer of higher dimensions and an authority on the stars. Though he loathes travelling and hates being away from Lisbon, he ventures into the ancient ways of a northern hill village under siege from dark presences, in a tale poised between crime story and the uncanny.
