Horror

Wakenhyrst

by Michelle Paver

In Edwardian Suffolk, a historian's obsession with ancient fenland folklore awakens something sinister in his isolated manor house. As his daughter watches his descent into madness, the whispers of the watery wilderness begin to manifest in terrifying ways. Paver crafts a slow-burning gothic nightmare steeped in English folklore and Edwardian decay.
