Two critically acclaimed Yorkshire writers discuss their latest folk horror novels.  
 
David Barnett’s Scuttler’s Cove is an eerie tale with a sinister supernatural twist. A young woman returns to the quaint Cornish village where she grew up to find it taken over by second and holiday homes. But something old and terrible is awakening beneath the town, bringing a horror that the residents have fought for generations to keep a secret.  
 
Michael Stewart’s Black Wood Women is a visceral tale set in 17th-century Yorkshire. After the murder of her parents, a young Catholic Irish girl flees to a forest, where she meets a coven of women who refuse to follow men’s rules. Having found acceptance at last, she is unaware that an outside threat means their days in the forest are numbered.
