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.
