Lynnwood
Thomas Brown
The unthinkable is happening in Lynnwood – a village with centuries of guilt on its conscience.
Who wouldn’t want to live in an idyllic village in the English countryside like Lynnwood? With its charming pub, old dairy, friendly vicar, gurgling brooks, and its old paths with memories of simpler times.
But behind the conventional appearance of Lynnwood’s villagers, only two sorts of people crawl out of the woodwork: those who hunt and those who are prey. Visitors are watched by an entity between the trees where the Dark Ages have endured to the twenty-first century. Families who have lived behind stone walls and twitching curtains know that the gusts of wind blowing through the nearby alluring Forest bring with them a stench of delightful hunger only Lynnwood can appease.
Reviews:
“A quintessentially British folk horror chiller, with an escalating power of dread that is rendered deftly. A new voice in British horror, that you’ll want to read, has entered the field.” – Adam Nevill, Author of Apartment 16 and The Ritual
‘The plot line is new and exciting, I won’t say anymore about that because I don’t want to give it away! But I know I was surprised more than once at what was happening. If you are looking for a good book, definitely pick up this one.’ – Alison Mudge, Librarian, USA
“ … A dark journey not only of the mind, but of the soul. This beautifully crafted tale of the horror that lurks in a picturesque English village is hopefully the first of many to come from this brilliant young author.

What a wonderful surprise – thanks for this, Nina! You know how difficult it is to get word out, so this is really appreciated. Joe – I hope you find it an interesting read!
My pleasure, Tom! Its a wonderful book, and I hope it reaches as many eyes as possible. It really is a ‘writer’s read’ as much as an intriguing book for the general reader. 🙂
Thanks for the tip, Nina. It does sound interesting, and all those reviews sell it well. I’ll look forward to picking up my copy.
