Description
In the remote Welsh mountains of Snowdonia, a long-settled sheep-farming couple finds their fragile life unraveling as debts mount, outsiders encroach, and the land itself seems to turn against them. When a strange stone artifact leads to the discovery of a buried Neolithic structure, the husband’s obsession with what lies beneath grows into something far more dangerous—awakening an ancient presence with intentions of its own. Blending Welsh folklore with creeping psychological suspense, this debut folk-horror novel explores inheritance, guilt, and the cost of disturbing what was meant to remain hidden. As sickness spreads and a single misstep threatens to sever the couple’s last ties to the world, the question becomes not only what the site was built for, but why it was buried in the first place. Liam Higginson delivers richly atmospheric dread and myth-haunted tension in a story that feels both intimate and mythic.
