Publisher's Summary
Gold Winner for Best Drama Special at the 2018 New York Festivals® International Radio Awards.
Seventeenth-century England, and a plough uncovers a grisly skull in the furrows of a farmer's field. The skull disappears, but its malefic influence begins to work in insidious ways upon the nearby village of Hexbridge. First, the cows stop milking and the fruit turns rotten on the trees. Then, an insolent ungodliness takes hold of the local children, mysterious fur patches appear on limbs and people start disappearing....
Something evil is stirring in the woods. Something that is corrupting the village youth, who retreat to the woodland deeps to play their pernicious games. Hysteria spreads as it becomes clear that the devil has come to Hexbridge, to incarnate himself on earth. Can the villagers, led by the Squire Middleton (Mark Gatiss) and Reverend Fallowfield (Reece Shearsmith), prevent the devil gaining human form?
This digital audio exclusive stars Mark Gatiss and Reece Shearsmith, alongside the original film's Angel Blake, Linda Hayden. Gatiss and Shearsmith are both huge fans of the original film, even recording a commentary for the DVD release.

Brilliant performances all round.
The performances in this audiobook were bloody brilliant! The subtle, eerie tones of music in the background worked really nicely against the story. I enjoyed the storyline too, although slightly predictable.. for a fairly short listen though, it was pretty damn good.
I recommend this audiobook to anyone looking to enjoy a horror fiction story on a starry night as they settle down for bed.
Overall, I feel like this was a real good listen for an audiobook from the plus catalog. Well done to all involved in its creation.

Fantastic production
Thoroughly enjoyable and wonderfully scary. I wasn’t sure it would work like this but oh it did! Well done, everything was amazing.

Excellent!!
Production values are top of the class so be sure to listen with headphones!
A great compliment to a cult folk horror movie of the early 70s. Lets hope Mark Gatis and his cohorts in classic horror film appreciation make more offerings of this quality. Looking forward to the unreleased Hammer Film from the vaults.

Mediocre at best
Performance was great;
Story was just bland and disappointing.
Storyline failed to build any meaningful suspense or crescendo.

cool story, great production
I'm really starting to love these audio drama things with the voice acting, music and sound effects. I'm hoping for more to come.
This was a cool little tale about evil in a small town. i dunno, the description tells you what you need to know.
