Deep and rich and fully fleshed out, THE MIDWIVES is Folk Horror genius! I loved SALVAGE and admired GHOSTLAND, but THE MIDWIVES is Horror I can see myself reading over and over again. How deeply the characterizations range! How giftedly twisted the multiple plot threads! And the Frights! During certain particular scenes, I completely forgot I was "reading a book" and fell into the story, eventually surfacing to find myself simply suffused in chills!

Review: THE MIDWIVES by Duncan Ralston
