24 hour folk horror marathon. 25th October, 2025. A picture of a goat head superimposed over a creepy barn.

First 5⭐ read of 2025. Beautiful folk horror that hearkens back to nature animism and stories of the Fae, while being steeped in rural isolation and grief. Can't wait to read the follow-up.

My debut folk horror audio drama is now available! Enter a world immersed in Shropshire Folklore, ruled by Devil Himself. There's something very strange afoot up the stiperstones!
