The Reddening

Lifestyle journalist Katrine, seeking refuge from personal demons, relocates to the seemingly idyllic coast of North Devon, a region celebrated for its natural splendor and charming seaside towns. However, her quest for tranquility is shattered when a horrifying archaeological discovery emerges from the nearby Brickburgh cliffs: a vast, meticulously arranged hoard of human remains, dating back to pre-Celtic times, alongside strange, prehistoric artifacts. This unsettling find triggers a chain of increasingly disturbing events, drawing Katrine into the dark, forgotten history of the landscape. As the ancient past begins to bleed into the present, Katrine uncovers a hidden legacy of savage rites, primeval deities, and monstrous entities that have lain dormant for millennia, just beneath the veneer of modern civilization. The local community, too, seems to harbor unsettling secrets, their folklore echoing the terrifying truths unearthed from the earth. "The Reddening" plunges readers into a nightmarish world where the boundaries between sanity and primordial horror blur, revealing that some horrors aren't buried by time, but merely wait for the right moment to re-emerge and claim their due. Katrine must confront not only the ancient evils rising from the earth but also the terrifying implications for humanity's future.
