Where has the story come from? As I’ve said elsewhere, reading has been my best friend since Mum taught me the word-magic aged four.

This was recommended to me by a friend who's introduced me to folk horror. This is set near where she lives; hmm! This had all the ingredients to spook me - creepy characters, that claustrophobic atmosphere, a mystery and magic. A good read, distract ...more

Deep and dark, overall brilliant story telling. History-driven folk horror, a bit of social history, magic and mystery, this really caught my imagination. I had to look into the witches' memorial when I finished it and am determined to get up to Vard ...more
