Description
In the remote village of Scratch Moss, the discovery of coal ignites a chain of events spanning over a century, from the ruthless ambition of Sir Henry Brody in 1865 to the shattered lives of miners in 1985. As the earth is plundered for its riches, a sinister presence, known only as Red Clogs, awakens in the darkness below, feeding on the community's despair. Decades later, a grieving writer returns to his hometown, only to be confronted by the resurfacing memories of a shared horror that has long haunted Scratch Moss. This gripping novel weaves together five distinct timelines, exploring the devastating impact of industry and the enduring power of folk horror.
