About this listen
'An impeccable work of folk horror' Irish Times
The worst thing possible has happened. Richard and Juliette Willoughby's son, Ewan, has died suddenly at the age of five. Convinced that the boy still lives on in some form, and desparate to make contact, Juliette seeks the help of the Beacons, a seemingly benevolent group of occultists. Whereas Ricahrd, an art historian, tries to blot out the pain of his grief by turning his attention to the field opposite their house, Starve Acre. Patiently he digs in the barren soil looking for the roots of a legendary oak tree but unearths something which ought to have remained buried.
'I will confidently predict that no reader will guess where it's heading . . . Hurley's ability to create a wold that's like ours in many ways and really not in many others is again on full display' The Times

Beautifully written - frustrating ending
The story is well crafted and flows beautifully, I was chomping at the bit to see what was going to happen next. The use of language and the imagery is amazing however the end was really unsatisfying for me.

Short and worth a listen
Watched the film first, and will watch again now having listened. Narration was good, story structure keeps things tipping along nicely. Relatable mental anguish rather than horror. Would recommend.
