The Hum of Wrythe

A Supernatural Folk Horror Thriller

In the picture-perfect village of Wrythe, no one is ever lonely. That’s the problem.

Valia Davies lives by a strict code: Follow the rules, trust the protocol, and never let the chaos in. After a tragic mistake in a London classroom costs a child their life, Valia flees to the Wiltshire countryside, desperate for order and silence.

She finds Wrythe.

The village is a dream of whitewashed cottages and velvet lawns. The locals are polite. The children are terrifyingly well-behaved. It seems like the perfect sanctuary for a woman trying to outrun her guilt.

But the silence in Wrythe isn't empty. It’s hungry.

It starts with a rhythmic ticking in the walls. Then, the children standing motionless in the rain, staring at the ancient standing stones on the hill. And finally, the discovery that shatters Valia’s sanity: her own signature, carved into a school desk, dated 1890.

The villagers of Wrythe aren’t a cult. They are something far older, connected by a biological hive mind that has ruled the valley for centuries. They know Valia’s secrets. They know her grief. And now, they are offering her a terrifying deal:

Surrender your mind, and you will never have to carry the burden of your mistakes again.

To save herself from the ultimate peace, the woman who loves rules must learn to break them all.

Perfect for fans of C.J. Tudor, Thomas Olde Heuvelt, and the folk horror of Midsommar, this supernatural thriller will keep you reading until the lights go out.
