Whitfield's Mill looks like any other small Scottish town-quiet streets, old mills, and forests that press too close for comfort. In those hidden, dust-grey years of tower-blackened train smoke and gallows twitching in the pollen of dusk, one witch burned, fresh grave-mound children sighed away, and the dirt sighed their names into a curse as sticky and quick as blood. Walk the marsh and the scent of dried smoke is in your sinuses, memory feeling you through. For centuries, the townsfolk have whispered about The Night Things-creatures with burning yellow eyes, lurking in the woods, feeding on fear. For thirteen-year-old Indrid and his troublemaking best friend Hamish, the legends are part of life. They spend their days telling ghost stories, sneaking into the Marsh, and daring each other to visit the old graveyard. But when a string of terrifying events shakes the town disappearances, blood in the snow, shadows that move where no shadows should-Indrid's nightmares take shape in the real world
