About This Book

Why We Love It

"A folk horror infused with feminine rage that creeps and crawls under your skin and refuses to let go?! Give me 10, please. From Bram Stoker Award-nominated author Gemma Armor, this visceral, violent concerto is perfect for lovers of The Wicker Man or The Witch and dives into questions of identity, autonomy, and what draws us to the dark." –

Publisher's Description

*** THE FOLK HORROR NOVEL CRAWLING UNDER YOUR SKIN ***

Something moves on the forest floor . . .

Josie is at rock bottom. Burned out, heartbroken and recovering from an abusive relationship, she lives a haunted existence after returning to her isolated hometown on the edge of the Forest of Dean.

But the tall, dense pine trees are not the only things casting shadows across her skin.

Josie's hopes of a fresh start are horribly derailed when she stumbles across a dead woman's decaying, ant-infested body in the woods. The grim discovery sends her into a downward spiral, forcing her to face uncomfortable truths about the victim and her own past - all whilst battling the swarming black ants that seem to have burrowed into her mind . . . and her flesh.

As Josie struggles with infestations of all kinds, she scratches the surface of an age-old mystery - a masked predator stalks the forest around Ellwood, a place deeply gripped by ancient folklore and strange customs. So when the village dresses up for its annual festival, Josie gets closer and closer to unveiling a monster, and begins to ask herself:

Are these dark crawling insects leading her to uncover the truth?
Or is she their next victim?
