Author:Peter Curtis
Walwyk seemed a dream village to the new schoolteacher, Miss Mayfield. But dreams can change into nightmares...
When one of her students accuses his friend Ethel's grandmother of abusing her, Miss Mayfield cannot let it go. But Ethel won't say anything, despite the evidence of Miss Mayfield's own eyes. But as she attempts to get to the truth of the matter, she stumbles on something far more sinister. Walwyk seems to be in the grip of a centuries-old evil, and anybody who questions events in the village does not last long.
Death stalks more than one victim, and Miss Mayfield begins to realise that if she's not careful, she will be the next to die...

—— Daily TelegraphIntensely suspenseful, powerfully underplayed, subtly authoritative
—— New York TimesQuite, quite different... eerie, horrific, brilliant
—— GuardianHis fierce love for his mother warring with the need to follow his own desires - analysed with a vigorous relentlessness and pungent imagery - makes this a work whose power stands the test of time
—— Sunday TimesWhen I was 13 or 14 this was the book I couldn't put down. It's very good teenager territory
—— Jonathan Pryce , Daily ExpressHis ability to live and write on the hoof never ceases to amaze
—— William Scammell , IndependentLawrence is tremendously exciting . . . we were all influenced by Lawrence, including the poetry, which is wonderful, and is probably still not enough liked, partly because people call him sexist. He's much more complicated
—— Thom GunnLawrence is elegant yet passionate and his imagery is second to none
