A Times Best Book of 2019. 'Paver is one of Britain's modern
greats. This sinister, gothic chiller shows why' BIG ISSUE, Books
of the Year 2019. "Something has been let loose..." In Edwardian
Suffolk, a manor house stands alone in a lost corner of the Fens: a
glinting wilderness of water whose whispering reeds guard ancient
secrets. Maud is a lonely child growing up without a mother, ruled
by her repressive father. When he finds a painted medieval devil in
a graveyard, unhallowed forces are awakened. Maud's battle has
begun. She must survive a world haunted by witchcraft, the age-old
legends of her beloved fen – and the even more nightmarish demons
of her father's past. Spanning five centuries, Wakenhyrst is a
darkly gothic thriller about murderous obsession and one girl's
longing to fly free by the bestselling author of Dark Matter and
Thin Air. Wakenhyrst is an outstanding new piece of story-telling,
a tale of mystery and imagination laced with terror. It is a
masterwork in the modern gothic tradition that ranges from Mary
Shelley and Bram Stoker to Neil Gaiman and Sarah Perry.
