About this listen
Gold Winner for Best Drama Special at the 2018 New York Festivals® International Radio Awards.
Seventeenth-century England, and a plough uncovers a grisly skull in the furrows of a farmer's field. The skull disappears, but its malefic influence begins to work in insidious ways upon the nearby village of Hexbridge. First, the cows stop milking and the fruit turns rotten on the trees. Then, an insolent ungodliness takes hold of the local children, mysterious fur patches appear on limbs and people start disappearing....
Something evil is stirring in the woods. Something that is corrupting the village youth, who retreat to the woodland deeps to play their pernicious games. Hysteria spreads as it becomes clear that the devil has come to Hexbridge, to incarnate himself on earth. Can the villagers, led by the Squire Middleton (Mark Gatiss) and Reverend Fallowfield (Reece Shearsmith), prevent the devil gaining human form?
This digital audio exclusive stars Mark Gatiss and Reece Shearsmith, alongside the original film's Angel Blake, Linda Hayden. Gatiss and Shearsmith are both huge fans of the original film, even recording a commentary for the DVD release.

I recommend this audiobook to anyone looking to enjoy a horror fiction story on a starry night as they settle down for bed.
Overall, I feel like this was a real good listen for an audiobook from the plus catalog. Well done to all involved in its creation.
Brilliant performances all round.

A great compliment to a cult folk horror movie of the early 70s. Lets hope Mark Gatis and his cohorts in classic horror film appreciation make more offerings of this quality. Looking forward to the unreleased Hammer Film from the vaults.
Excellent!!
