At Night, White Bracken

Folk horror meets sink estate in run-down working class Britain: what have Dany, Cooper and Hicjey unleashed?

Gareth Wood’s portrayal of urban desperation is so fiercely authentic it seems to pulse with darkness, but it leads to episodes of inspired weirdness and ultimately to an awe-inspiring vision that verges on the cosmic. He’s an impressively original talent, and the field is richer for his work. - Ramsey Campbell

＂I was the only attendee. There was no priest, no vicar, no guru, no shaman, no liar. It was just me and the trench, with one solemn worker keen to fill in the hole.＂ This is a gruesome, brutal, fascinating book. It reminds me of Stephen King, drawing the reader into a dark, perverted reality. This novel has that same type of believable brutality, but it also incorporates a supernatural element. The vigilante realism and brutality could happen in life, perhaps the most horrific element of all. - CS Fuqua, author of Walking After Midnight
