Fiction Family Life
The Fletchers' beautiful new house is everything they dreamed it would be. Built between two churches in Heptonclough, a small village on the moors that time forgot, it ought to be paradise for this young family of five, but they barely have a chance to settle in before they find that theyβre anything but welcome. Someone seems to be trying to drive them away--at first with silly pranks but then with threats that become increasingly dangerous, especially to the oldest child, ten-year-old Tom Fletcher, who begins to believe that someone is always watching him. The adults in Tomβs life are trying to help, including his parents; the vicar next door, younger and more dashing than youβd expect a vicar to be; and a therapist, Evi Oliver, who believes him more than she wants to. But there are other clues that something isnβt quite right in Heptonclough, including the mysterious accidental deaths of three toddlers over the last ten years. It is not until Tomβs siblings, two-year-old Milly and five-year-old Joe Fletcher, go missing in turn that the little villageβs evil secret turns the Fletchersβ dreams into a nightmare. With Sacrifice, Awakening, and now Blood Harvest, S. J. Bolton displays time and time again her remarkable talent as a beguiling storyteller, a master of thrills, and the mistress of her own brand of modern Gothic tale.
