Starve Acre by Andrew Michael Hurley
4.0

This had all the solid elements that make up the best gothic creepfests:

Creepy kid ☑️
Remote setting ☑️
Insular villagers ☑️
Strangely detached characters ☑️
Folklore myths ☑️

This was really atmospheric and fed into all those local mythical ghost stories that all kids pick up when they live on or near a moor
