Netherwood

Another sign of the horror boom is the number of established writers moving into the genre, among them Arnott, award-winning author of noir titles including The Long Firm, which sold more than 150,000 copies and became a Bafta-winning BBC drama, and historical noir The Devil’s Paintbrush. Netherwood is a disquieting, modern-British folk-horror capturing the Gothic atmosphere of Hastings. When a couple bails out of London, washing up at a seaside cottage in Hastings, they find themselves living in the former home of a notorious local occultist over whom the shadow of former town resident Aleister Crowley looms large.
