About the Author
Eileen O’Conor began writing professionally in her teens. She was an active member of Unity Theatre, and was involved with such landmark productions as The Beggars’ Opera and Jean Paul Sartre’s Nekrassov. In the sixties she moved to Ibiza with her actor/painter husband and her two young children. For many years she wrote for Radio and T.V. before turning her attention to novels and film scripts. She now lives in the South of Spain where she enjoys cooking, entertaining her friends, and listening to Mozart.
The Invisible Worm
A deeply disturbing insight into the mind of a psychopath. But this is no ordinary suspense novel. This is a dark, compelling, often strangely witty study of a slowly disintegrating personality, and the cataclysmic effects on the people around her.
Eileen O’Conor’s world of alienation and malice is engrossing. Her work is original, arresting, and very frightening.
“She had never told anybody ‘what she did’. She knew they would never go along with it; might even try to stop her doing it. You couldn’t expect them to understand.
Though there’d been someone once. Tall and balding, wearing thick round glasses with metal frames. Strap-hanging, their eyes had met over a dozen heads and in that moment there was total recognition. Each knew what the other ‘did’.
He got off at the next stop and stood on the platform watching the train leave. As she passed, strap-hanging still, he had given her an almost imperceptible nod. Then he was gone. She never saw him again. But the incident had stuck in her memory – impressed her somehow.
She’d been twelve at the time.”
