Your House Is on Fire, Your Children All Gone: A Novel

Your House Is on Fire, Your Children All Gone: A Novel

Shirley Jackson meetsÂ TheÂ Twilight ZoneÂ in this riveting novel of supernatural horrorâ‚¬"for readers who loved Ransom Riggsâ‚¬ Miss Peregrineâ‚¬s Home for Peculiar Children

A village on the Devilâ‚¬Ëœs Moor: a place untouched by time and shrouded in superstition. There is the grand manor house whose occupants despise the villagers, the small pub whose regulars talk of revenants, the old mill no one dares to mention. This is where four young friends come of ageâ‚¬"in an atmosphere thick with fear and suspicion. Their innocent games soon bring them face-to-face with the villageâ‚¬Ëœs darkest secrets in this eerily dispassionate, astonishingly assured novel, infused with the spirit of the Brothers Grimm and evocative of Stephen Kingâ‚¬Ëœs classic short story â‚¬Å“Children of the Cornâ‚¬Â and the films The White Ribbon by Michael Haneke and Village of the DamnedÂ by Wolf Rilla.
