Description
The Green Man of Eshwood Hall by Jacob Kerr is a beautifully written debut that strikes a perfect balance between myth and psychosocial realism. This haunting tale recalls the atmospheric works of M.R. James, with a focus on the darker aspects of human nature. Set in 1962, the story follows Izzy, a young girl living in the servants quarters of Eshwood Hall, surrounded by sprawling woods. As she explores her surroundings and uncovers the history of the place, Izzy begins to hear strange whispers and sees eerie apparitions. At the heart of these supernatural occurrences is the enigmatic Green Man, who seems to know all about her deepest desires. This family story rooted in folk tale explores the power of the wild to shape our imagination and unleash terrifying nightmares. With its atmospheric setting and psychologically complex themes, The Green Man of Eshwood Hall is a compelling read for fans of literary fiction and horror.
