Shirley Jackson meets "The Twilight Zone" in this riveting novel of
supernatural horror--for readers who loved Ransom Riggs' "Miss
Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children"
A village on the Devil's Moor: a place untouched by time and
shrouded in superstition. There is the grand manor house whose
occupants despise the villagers, the small pub whose regulars talk
of revenants, the old mill no one dares to mention. This is where
four young friends come of age--in an atmosphere thick with fear
and suspicion. Their innocent games soon bring them face-to-face
with the village's darkest secrets in this eerily dispassionate,
astonishingly assured novel, infused with the spirit of the
Brothers Grimm and evocative of Stephen King's classic short story
"Children of the Corn" and the films "The White Ribbon" by Michael
Haneke and "Village of the Damned "by Wolf Rilla.
