Shirley Jackson meets The Twilight Zone in this riveting novel of supernatural horrorāfor readers who loved Ransom Riggsā Miss Peregrineās Home for Peculiar Children
A village on the Devilās 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 ageāin an atmosphere thick with fear and suspicion. Their innocent games soon bring them face-to-face with the villageās darkest secrets in this eerily dispassionate, astonishingly assured novel, infused with the spirit of the Brothers Grimm and evocative of Stephen Kingās classic short story āChildren of the Cornā and the films The White Ribbon by Michael Haneke and Village of the Damned by Wolf Rilla.
