Back to fiction and spooky places. This weaves history, myth, and reality together until you donā€™t know which way is up.

Iā€™d say itā€™s more of a supernatural thriller, but it twists into horror at times. I love this because it once more weaves the real with the mythological, using British traditions to capture your imagination and transport you to new realities.
