Now that is a folk horror! 

A slow burn with exquisite writing. The sense of place was excellent - I found the author’s description of the environment, landscape, and woods exceptionally well done - I felt like I was there in the woods, particularly. 

I’ve been so underwhelmed by recent folk horror but this book has reminded me how awesome it can be when it’s done well!
