In 1981, terror comes to Cornwall.
The Reagan recession hit hard on the newly married Keelys. Then, like an inheritance from a rich relative, Mick secured a job at his best friend’s English dairy. He and Judi packed up their lives and crossed the Atlantic to settle into a remote farmhouse near Bowpoole, a village on the mythic Bodmin Moor. They were young, felt lucky. Opportunity had knocked and they answered. They had big plans.
Then Judi got pregnant. With twins.
That wasn’t the plan.
Chaos creeps in and their babies stir to life, but so too does a local legend—a web of witch trials, impossible beasts, and tragic events spanning centuries. When new tragedies strike, Mick unites with his neighbor Peter to pull back the veil on Bowpoole’s past. They soon discover a 300-year-old conspiracy and a darkness that feeds on the blood of innocents.
It quickens in the ancient woods off their country lane, in a cursed hollow locals call the Red Acre.
"A fast-moving mystery with lots of well-researched details and history."
"Kept me up at night."
"A desperate fight for survival in a quaint little village that hides a very bloody history."
