Ghost Wall by Sarah Moss

5.0

A novella about a cruel father who's desire to return to a time where "Britishness" is "pure" sees him force his brutalised wife and teenage daughter to participate in an experimental encampment run by an archaeology professor interested in Northumberland's history of human sacrifice. It quickly becomes apparent that the men are beginning to lose sense of what is fake and what is real, and those lines blur dangerously.

This is a story about female subjugation, ideas of purity and ethnicity, racism and one man's desire to build ghost walls around himself and his family.

Chilling doesn't even begin to describe this.
