Description
The fourth book in a collection that links together the events of Withered Hill, Scuttler's Cove and Scratch Moss.
Their arrival could mean the end of everything...
The remote, isolated village of Withered Hill is rocked by unexpected visitors, a film crew hoping to make a low-budget horror movie.
Despite the villagers' misgivings, the small crew insists on staying, desiring to put their plans for the film Twisted Pike into action.
They are not in Withered Hill by accident. But they are not there to make a film. They are there to destroy this cursed place, and all who live there.
The reverberations of their attempts will be felt across the nation, and by the ancient gods who exist beneath the ground, waiting for their chance to rise once again
An utterly bewitching folk horror novel of apocalyptic proportions from the author of the Withered Hill universe.
Advance Praise
Praise for Withered Hill by David Barnett
'A terrific, unexpected twist' The Guardian
'Eerie, erotic and engrossing, David Barnett's Withered Hill is a masterpiece of folkloric horror, one I suspect shall henceforth be mentioned in the same breath as The Wicker Man, as it well and truly deserves to be' Kealan Patrick Burke, Bram Stoker Award winning author of Sour Candy
'A bloody masterpiece Black Mirror meets The Wicker Man' Mark Stay, author of The Witches of Woodville series
'Haunting, shocking and beautifully written, Withered Hill lures you into a strange town where everything is slightly off-kilter, and then invites you to try and escape. But you can't. And neither will you escape the draw of this brilliant, almost hypnotic novel, which is one of my favourites of the year' Tim Lebbon
Praise for Scuttler's Cove by David Barnett
'There's a rich vein of horror to be mined here, and Barnett's doing a great job of excavating it' SFX
'An eerie tale of folk horror, as old gods and locals with age-old roots come into conflict with new money and the modern world, with a satisfying supernatural showdown, and a twist you won't see coming' Jane Johnson
