Sorcerie

A Folk-Horror Thriller

From the author of Here Lurk Monsters and The Night Sitter, a throwback folk-horror thriller with the atmospheric slow-creep of The Wicker Man and Rosemary's Baby.

Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live, the townsfolk said. . .

Following a failed pregnancy, Oliver and Abby learn they will never be able to bear children of their own. Heartbroken, their marriage in decay, the grieving couple exhaust the last of their savings and move from London to a tiny village on a remote British isle for a fresh start.

Settling into a small stone cottage beside a dark woods overlooking a gray sea, their best of intentions are only too quickly dashed by cold suffocating fog, thrashing wind and rain, and the strange folkloric traditions of the villagers themselves, including a congregation of old rusted horseshoes arranged in a crude pattern of concentric circles on their front door to greet them and mysterious runic carvings on the stone walls of their cellar.

And this is only the beginning of their nightmare. For there is an unseen resident inside the stone walls of this small stone cottage beside these dark woods and this gray sea. Something moving about in its darkest corners and deepest crevices.

Something that has been waiting. Patiently. An ancient evil thing. . .

Steeped in eldritch witchcraft and old hinterland ways, Sorcerie is a master stroke of horror. Mesmerizing, genuinely eerie, and ultimately terrifying. Perfect for readers of Adam Nevill, Thomas Tryon, and Andrew Michael Hurley.
