For Fear of Little Men

In John Blackburn's chilling novel For Fear of Little Men, the residents of a Welsh village are haunted by an ancient legend of mountain people, massacred by their ancestors 3,000 years ago. Strange occurrences plague the northern slope of the mountain where this bloodshed occurred, intertwining with a man's haunting nightmares, a judge's murder, food poisoning outbreaks, and a climber's death. Sir Marcus Levin embarks on a quest to uncover the disturbing connections, leading him to a horrifying revelation in a ceremony deep within the mountain. This classic of folk horror returns to chill a new audience with its eerie narrative.
