Your House Is on Fire, Your Children All Gone
A village on the Devil's Moor: a place untouched by time and shrouded in
superstition. There is the grand manor house whose occupants despise
the villagers, the small pub whose regulars talk of revenants, the old
mill no one dares to mention. This is where four young friends come of
age-in an atmosphere thick with fear and suspicion. Their innocent games
soon bring them face-to-face with the village's darkest secrets in this
eerily dispassionate, astonishingly assured novel, infused with the
spirit of the Brothers Grimm and evocative of Stephen King's classic
short story "Children of the Corn" and the films The White Ribbon by Michael Haneke and Village of the Damned*by Wolf Rilla.

Overview

A village on the Devil's Moor: a place untouched by time and shrouded in
superstition. There is the grand manor house whose occupants despise
the villagers, the small pub whose regulars talk of revenants, the old
mill no one dares to mention. This is where four young friends come of

soon bring them face-to-face with the village's darkest secrets in this
eerily dispassionate, astonishingly assured novel, infused with the

Editorial Reviews

author of The Girl Who Would Speak for the Dead Paul Elwork

Full of dark folk magic and frightful, lurid wonder. It casts a spell, winking all the way through every grim detail and shadowy secret.”

New York Times bestselling author Audrey Niffenegger

A very elegant nightmare, so appalling and so beautiful.”

Booklist

A wicked novel…Stunning…[There is a] quiet, unnerving effect [to] Kiesbye’s Brothers Grimm–like prose…An episodic, poetic, nightmarish offspring of Grace Metalious’s Peyton Place and Ray Bradbury’s Something Wicked This Way Comes.”

From the Publisher

"Too subtle to be lurid yet too spooky for comfort, this book should appeal to [fans] of psychological fiction and literary tales of the supernatural." ---Publishers Weekly

JANUARY 2013 - AudioFile

Sometime after WWII, the German village of Hemmersmoor is a place permeated by an unspoken evil. Legends tell of monsters and devils, but the true monsters are human, the true extent not revealed until the last story. Children who are victims of child abuse, incest, or worse go on to commit equally terrible acts on others in a cycle of violence. Narrators Alison Larkin and James Langton have the skill to make these creepy stories even creepier. Their gentle tones belie the horrors of a town seemingly lost in time.
