Ten chilling strange tales from the British folk-horror author Andrew Michael Hurley. Barrowbeck, in the north of England, has a reputation for strangeness. It is a place that brings out the sin in people. But despite the dark, the cold, the isolation, people have managed to live there for centuries - until the river finally got the better of them. And now the past voices of Barrowbeck want to tell their tales... Today: In the midst of an unexpectedly fertile summer in Barrowbeck, a childless couple make an agonising decision....
