Praise for Withered Hill Eerie erotic and engrossing David Barnett's Withered Hill is a masterpiece of folkloric horror one I suspect shall henceforth be mentioned in the same breath as The Wicker Man as it well and truly deserves to be Kealan Patrick Burke Bram Stoker Award winning author of Sour Candy A bloody masterpiece Black Mirror meets The Wickerman Mark Stay author of The Witches of Woodville series Midsommar Evil Dead and Stepford Wives all in one this twisted dark fairytale rooted in the modern world had me too scared to walk my dog in broad daylight. Masterful storytelling sinister sick and funny if you're as warped as this folklore horror gem Lisa Rookes author of The Vanishing of Joni Blackwood Withered Hill gets into you as the best folk horror tends to: the woods grow ever - deeper the villagers more smilingly hostile as the escape routes shrink tighter than a keyhole. But there's much delight in being trapped in the hands of such an agile clever and knowing storyteller Nick Cutter author of The Troop Beguiling bewitching and brilliant. Withered Hill gets under your skin like some long - forgotten pagan spell and keeps you turning the pages late into the night.
