4: A Few May Creep Back

Available for over a year

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... In today's story, it's now the 1960s, and an elderly teacher finds himself unnerved by one of his pupils.
