About this listen

Inside

A year ago Sophie Wickham stumbled into the isolated Lancashire village of Withered Hill, naked, alone and with no memory of who she is.

Surrounded by a thick ring of woodland, its inhabitants seem to be of another world, drenched in pagan, folklorish traditions.

As Sophie struggles to regain the memories of her life from before, she quickly realises she is a prisoner after multiple failed escape attempts. But is it the locals who keep her trapped, with smiles on their faces, or something else, lurking in the woods?

Outside

In London, Sophie leads a chaotic life, with too many drunken nights, inappropriate men and boring temp jobs. But things take a turn as she starts to be targeted by strange messages warning her that someone, or something, is coming for her.
With no idea who to trust, or where to turn for help, the messages become more insistent and more intimidating, urging Sophie to make her way to a place called Withered Hill…

An utterly bewitching, dual timeline folk horror story, with a truly devastating twist you have to hear to believe.

Behavior has Consequences and Nature Bites Back

Ziggy Sobers is quite excellent as voice actor, if sometimes somewhat grating in the high register, but she is totally believable as each character. David Barnett has created a folk horror tale for our times and we better pay attention. Withered Hill is emotionally horrifying as opposed to blood, guts and gore, although there’s some gritty moments that are quite dark. Although I’m not generally a reader/listener (or watcher) of horror - Barnett’s writing and the concept behind the story is the draw for this reader/listener.
