I've ordered this, you should too!
Some one-liners from Netgalley reviews of SCRATCH MOSS (out March 5):
"David Barnett may just be the new king of British folklore horror."
"Holy CRAP. David Barnett is at the top of his game."
"Wow! I am firmly convinced that David Barnett is simply a master of the folklore horror genre."
