Victorian London had Jack the Ripper.
Georgian Dublin had the Dolocher...
Hyeonseo Lee is a North Korean defector
and human rights activist who now lives in
South Korea.
The Dolocher is stalking the alleyways of
Dublin. Half man, half pig, this terrifying
creature has unleashed panic on the streets.
Can it really be the evil spirit of a murderer
who has cheated the hangman’s noose
by taking his own life in his prison cell,
depriving the mob of their rightful revenge?
Or is there some other strange supernatural
explanation?
This terror has come at the p erfect time
for down-at-heel writer Solomon Fish.
With his new broadsheet reporting ever
more gruesome stories of the mysterious
Dolocher, sales are growing daily and
fuelling the city’s fear. But when the
Dolocher starts killing and Solomon himself
is set upon, he realises that there’s more to
the story than he could ever have imagined.
With the help of his fearless landlady,
Solomon goes after the Dolocher, torn
between reason and superstition.

The Dolocher is Caroline Barry’s first foray

Dublin ghost story.
As a teenager she escaped from North
Korea and later guided her family to
freedom through China and Laos.
She has recently completed writing her
memoir, The Girl With Seven Names (2015).
Over 5 million people have viewed her
TED Talk about her life in North Korea, her
escape to China and struggle to bring her
family to freedom.
Hyeonseo has given testimony about North
Korean human rights in front of a special
panel of the UN Security Council.
She spends much of her time travelling
across the globe and speaking out for North
Korean human rights and refugee issues.
She has also written articles for the New
York Times, Wall Street Journal and the
London School of Economics Big Ideas blog
and has been interviewed by the BBC, CNN,
and CBS News.
