From Little Stack
Think your family has secrets? Try spending a few days in the Endlands.
Devil’s Day by Andrew Michael Hurley is one of those books that sneaks up on you, coils around your spine, and whispers, “Something’s not right here…” while the hair stands up on your neck… But you can’t stop reading!
Set in a remote farming village where the landscape is bleak, the sheep are nervous, and tradition runs deeper than the river, this book is dripping with atmosphere and ancient unease. You’ll meet a tight-knit community that doesn’t quite welcome outsiders, and a narrator who’s come home for a funeral, only to get tangled up in old stories, strange rituals, and the creeping feeling that the past hasn’t let go.
It’s folk horror with plenty of brains. It’s slow-burn suspense with a sinister heartbeat. It’s Wuthering Heights meets The Wicker Man, but with way more mud, family tension, unspoken dread and a modern voice.
If you love mysteries wrapped in folklore, and stories that make you double-check your door locks, then look no further. This one’s calling you home.
In this gothic horror novel, a schoolteacher and his wife must deal with a devilish legend when they travel to his remote rural hometown for a funeral.
Every autumn, John Pentecost returns to the farm where he grew up, to help gather the sheep down from the moors for the winter. Very little changes in the Endlands, but this year, his grandfather—the Gaffer—has died and John's new wife, Katherine, is accompanying him for the first time.
Each year, the Gaffer would redraw the boundary lines of the village, with pen and paper but also through the remembrance of tales and timeless communal rituals, which keep the sheep safe from the Devil. But as the farmers of the Endlands bury the Gaffer and prepare to gather the sheep, they begin to wonder whether they've let the Devil in after all…
