Beautifully written and bone-chilling folk-horror in the tradition of Turn of the Screw by Henry James and The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters.
Eshwood Hall is a great English house surrounded by sprawling woods. In 1960, Izzy is thirteen, lives in the servants
quarters and doesn't go to school. Neglected by her parents, she spends her moments of freedom exploring the forest
and the village beyond. The more she comes to understand the history of the place and her own situation, the stranger
are the things she hears and sees. The most tantalising of these is the Green Man who inhabits the woods, and seems to
know all about her, even those desires she has buried deep inside.
A family story rooted in folk tale, The Green Man of Eshwood Hall shows us the power that the wild still holds on our
imagination, and the shocking nightmares to which it can give rise.
