"We can't shutter ourselves away in the dark and moan about the unfairness of fate, the cruel caprices of destiny. Everything happens for a reason, as they say, and I believe that to be true." 

Brent Prior is a dreary place where people dream of escaping. Kate Mansfield and her blind brother, Neil, live in a manor near the moors, where their father lies with an unexplained illness. The village people are disappearing when a fog suddenly rolls in and a disfigured man claiming to be the Master of the Moors shows up with unfinished business. 

Right from the get-go, you can feel the sense of dread building up among some of the villagers. I don't know what it is, but there's something about a horror set in a different time period that makes the setting feel even more frightening and tense. The atmosphere was bleak and spine-chilling, and I could feel the intense fear the characters were experiencing. 

The writing flowed wonderfully and each character brought something to the story. Some you love, some you hate, but they were all pertinent to what was happening in the moors. I'm not going to say much else because it's a short book, but all I'm going to say is stay away from the fog 😬 

I definitely recommend this to all horror fans!
