Harrowfield – New Folk Horror for Autumn

The autumn is a perfect time to release new folk horror, especially when you are wrapped up against the elements and wishing it was summer. Harrowfield takes you back to that time of year, to Midsummer when old traditions are re-enacted as they are across the land. There is dance and music, old songs and old stories, just like in any village, entertainments to celebrate the season and to ensure good harvest and prosperity. And the village of Harrowfield is in need of change.

‘Harrowfield is a tiny village in the Marches, that wild strip of borderland between England and Wales. On the edge of this village lies another field, the Harrow Field, the one from which the settlement takes its name. At its entrance stands the Mother Stone, guarding her Children, the two smaller monoliths at the top of the field. This is the ancient site of the Harrowing.

When Derwenna Parry’s brother goes missing whilst surveying farmland, she and his daughters head to the village to track him down. Midsummer approaches and, even though they find him unharmed, they become caught up in strange events which lead them to the Harrowing. An ancient act of penance … or sacrificial revenge?’
