The Moorstone Sickness by Bernard Taylor

5.0

Hal and Rowan decide to get away from the bad memories of their London flat and move to the countryside. At first the village of Moorstone offers them the peace and quiet and fresh start they have been looking for. But it soon becomes apparent that there is something sinister going on behind the villagers' friendliness.

Although there will be elements of this story that you have probably read or watched elsewhere, Taylor manages to create something unique with them. Interestingly, the sinister element becomes clear quite early on but it still manages to be captivating story and more about the characters and the details. And the ending was truly chilling and emotional!
