I've developed quite a predilection for British folk horror as evinced by authors Jasper Bark, Sarah England, Adam Nevill, Sarah Rayne, and others. There's something immensely appealing about countrysides with millenia of continuous history preceded by multiple millennia of prehistory; land where the past (in THE REDDENING, literally) coexists with the contemporaneous.
There are so many threads in this horror novel that I hesitate to try to compose a summary. Instead I will just emphasize the lovely complexity of this novel, the extreme depth of characters, delineation of life's instinct-no, passionate drive--toward survival; and always--always--the weight of the Past suffocating the Present.
