Folk horror meets ancient gods in a remote snowbound Peak District town where several murders take place… --- In a lonely village in the Peak District, during the onset of a once-in-a-lifetime snow storm, Constable Ellie Cheetham finds a body. The man, a local ne'er-do-well, appears to have died in a tragic accident: he drank too much and froze to death. But the facts don't add up: the dead man is clutching a knife in one hand, and there's evidence he was hiding from someone. Someone who watched him die. Stranger still, an odd mark has been drawn onto a stone beside his body. The next victims are two families on the outskirts of town. As the storm rises and the body count grows, Ellie realises she has a terrifying problem on her hands: someone – or some thing – is killing indiscriminately, attacking in the darkness and using the storm for cover. The killer is circling ever closer to the village. The storm's getting worse... and the power's just gone out. File Under: Folk Horror [ Small Town | Big Terror | Long Night | A Few Good Women ]

Sadly, I‘m bailing on this one after about 130 pages. It has all of the elements I would normally love, but I just wasn‘t interested enough to stick it out to page 460.

Reggie When you gotta go you gotta go. I tried to read DH Lawrence‘s The Rainbow back in the day. I made it to pg252 and never came back. I felt we had just gone from the door to the gate of the yard. Lol there was still 300 pages and I just couldn‘t. 2y
Bookzombie @Reggie Yes! I really thought this would be good but it was slow going. 💗 2y

This one checked all the spooky action horror boxes for me:
Quaint village cut off and isolated from the rest of the world by snowstorm – check!
Creepy happenings rooted in folklore – check!
Terrifying creatures – check!
Group of survivors with complicated pasts banding together to battle said terrifying creatures– check!
