Horror

Campbell Wood

1986 · Doubleday

Seeking refuge from city life, a young couple and their two small children buy a secluded country house near the insular enclave of Campbell Wood. The idyll curdles as the villagers turn hostile: dead animals on the doorstep, whispers from the tree line at dusk, woods that seem to creep closer each day. Digging into the village's hidden history, the family learns that Campbell Wood answers to an ancient woodland entity that demands blood from outsiders.
