RAVENTREE HOLLOW, although set in a quiet Northern California community, reminds me so much of quaint and cozy British folk Horror. The town of Raventree Hollow is remarkably encapsulated, even though it has its intrepid business commuters, and young people who graduate high school and move away. Yet the town just seems so isolated, so entrenched, almost like an early Twilight Zone episode featuring a town encased in a bubble, as if nothing from the outside world can touch it.


Yet it's certainly not a perfect community (nor was Peyton Place). The gossip mill grinds constantly and exceedingly fine; the wealthy on-the-hill Winfield clan are generous and benevolent, yet seem like medieval feudal lords. Something on the opposite hill, beneath the convent, is out-of-this-world and implacably dangerous. The eventual conclusion is mind-shatteringly horrible.

I love dark reads and so I really enjoyed this richly gothic and atmospheric read. I couldn't put it down, I was completely gripped all the way through.
