Your House Is on Fire, Your Children All Gone

A village on the Devil's 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
age-in an atmosphere thick with fear and suspicion. Their innocent games
soon bring them face-to-face with the village's darkest secrets in this
eerily dispassionate, astonishingly assured novel, infused with the
spirit of the Brothers Grimm and evocative of Stephen King's classic
short story 'Children of the Corn' and the films The White Ribbon by Michael Haneke and Village of the Damned by Wolf Rilla.
