The story asks what if the events of the narrative poem Tam o' Shanter, Burns' most famous work, were actually based on something that happened to Burns himself. Like his fictional creation, Robbie mistakenly takes the wrong road and ends up stumbling upon a full-blown witches' sabbath being held in the ruins of the haunted old Alloway Kirk. Like Tam, the hot-blooded young poet is entranced by the sight of the dancing witches, but is saved by the sudden and dramatic intervention of the pair of witch-hunters, the old veteran McKay and his young apprentice Meg. And so begins Burns' education in the ways of witch-hunting, as McKay and Meg struggle to keep him out of the clutches of the demonic Cutty Sark and out of trouble with witches, demons and local farm girls. Two visionary writers from Edinburgh, Gordon Rennie and Emma Beeby, have created a new depiction of the nation's most loved poet, based on the epic character of the famous narrative poem Tam o'Shanter. Tiernen Trevallion, one of the UK's most promising new comic artists, provides the artwork.

About the Authors

Gordon Rennie has been a freelance writer for over 20 years. When he's not being ungainfully employed as a BAFTA-nominated video games scriptwriter, he keeps himself busy writing comics, novels, screenplays and Doctor Who audio plays. Comics work includes Predator, Judge Dredd, Rogue Trooper, Missionary Man, Necronauts, Caballistics Inc and Absalom, and Dept. of Monsterology for Renegade.

Emma Beeby is an award-nominated writer working in games, film, 2000AD comics and Doctor Who Big Finish audio. She has written Robbie Burns: Witch Hunter with Gordon Rennie.

Tiernen Trevallion is a comics artist who illustrates Absalom for 2000 AD. He has also worked on Tharg's Terror Tales and Tharg's Future Shocks in 2000 AD, and Tales from the Black Museum and Judge Dredd in the Judge Dredd Megazine. He was the artist for Robbie Burns: Witch Hunter. His lovingly detailed art repays close examination, especially when he slips in something cheeky in the background.
