Publisher's Synopsis
In a remote and seemingly cursed village on the Yorkshire Lancashire border, the inhabitants of Barrowbeck wrestle with life, death and a landscape that is wild and mercurial.
Friends gather to support a widower whose wife has died in mysterious circumstances; an elderly teacher is unnerved by one of his pupils; a childless couple must make an agonising decision; sisters welcome a lodger into their home.
Set over the course of a year, these gothic stories are riven with psychological trauma, unsettling events and encroaching darkness.
Prepare to listen to the voices in the valley.
