Part Blair Witch Project style thriller, part historic page-turner, Fiona Barnett’s The Dark Between the Trees debut also slips into supernatural gothic territory, with witchcraft and devilry also dancing in the tangled trees of Moresby Wood, and through the novel’s twisting plot.

The first scene is set in modern times, as five women set out to investigate why, back in 1643, a band of seventeen ambushed Parliamentarian soldiers took refuge in Moresby Wood, and only two of them survived. Two men who lived to tell terrifying tales of what happened in the wood, and why their peers never returned.

As the women set up camp, plan their investigation, and re-trace the soldiers’ steps, we move back to 1643 and join the men as some of their company die. Then, as the parties from the past and present delve deeper into the darkness, venture further into the unforgiving mists, supernatural threats with folkloric edge emerge from the shadows.

Mixing paranormal menace and peril with real-world physicality and struggles, this is a head-rush horror novel for readers who relish things that go bump in the night.
