Book review: โStarve Acreโ by Andrew Michael Hurley
First published in 2019, Starve Acre is eerie and suspenseful, but in a very elegant, subdued way. Its rural setting and folkloric elements place it firmly in the tradition of English folk horror genre, where there is a special - troubled - connection between the protagonists, the land and its numinous, uncanny presences.
