    About this ebook

    In this gothic horror novel, a schoolteacher and his wife must deal with a devilish legend when they travel to his remote rural hometown for a funeral.

    Every autumn, John Pentecost returns to the farm where he grew up, to help gather the sheep down from the moors for the winter. Very little changes in the Endlands, but this year, his grandfather—the Gaffer—has died and John’s new wife, Katherine, is accompanying him for the first time.

    Each year, the Gaffer would redraw the boundary lines of the village, with pen and paper but also through the remembrance of tales and timeless communal rituals, which keep the sheep safe from the Devil. But as the farmers of the Endlands bury the Gaffer and prepare to gather the sheep, they begin to wonder whether they’ve let the Devil in after all…

      I enjoyed this one as I have Hurley's others; he's definitely got a grand talent for the English folk gothic tone. Much look forward to whatever he comes up with next. 
    • 3/5
      There's something about the moors that's bleak and beautiful and Hurley comes up with another fine folk horror that tells of a creepy place and a family that's learned to live with it. It's an enjoyable read with more promise than delivery, too much anticipation of the devil for the lackluster ending. But Hurley writes beautifully and kept me gripped. In The Loney the ending worked because it's from the perspective of a child. In this one, I was left perplexed as to why the narrator did some of the things he did.
    • 5/5
      A bleaker entry in a subgenre I've been thinking of as "the place where you're from" - people who have complicated-but-positive relationships with the difficult, usually rural, places they grew up. This one is so difficult it starts to fall into folk horror, but the narrator is so enamored of the place it fits anyway. (I wouldn't call this horror-horror though; the monsters are so ambiguous and the horror so prosaic, for a difficult rural life. Bleak is the best word.)
    • 4/5
      3.5 This is one of those books that is not only hard to rate, but hard to describe. A book that because of it's slow pace will not appeal to everyone. The writing those is wonderful, the descriptions so vividly detailed that it allows the reader to see, feel and hear what the characters are thinking and feeling. The limited amount of characters, let the reader notice the things that change, and what changed them. Local lore, superstitions, a devil that skips from person, to animal, farmers that attempt to draw lot lines away from him. Is he real?A friend of mine at work read this book before me and he gave me some good advice. Don't skim or skip, because needed information is imparted amongst the details. So true, things would appear innocent with the significance only noted later by this reader. The more one recognizes what is happening, the deeper the dread. A strange book, but one so fitting for the Halloween season.ARC from Edelweiss.
    • 4/5
      A book to read as Hallowe'em approaches. The second of this author's novels set in the countryside of Bowland and the Fylde. The landscape inspires him. But he sees things in it not many of us would. The history of the distric seeps through the story too. What may look like rolling moors, green valleys and sparkling streams to us signify something else to Mr Hurley. There is an unseen world. Another dimension. Spiritual, demonic, religious, folkloric. Who knows. He spins his story well. Dropping threads here and there to guide us along the way. An unsettling mixture of real and imagined geography gives us the horror version of Le Grande Meaulnes.

      Michael Andrew Hurley is a gifted writer who can create an atmosphere that is unsettling and eerie. In Devil's Day, John and Kat are returning to John's childhood home, a Lancashire farm, deep in the moor in the Endlands. John's grandfather, known as The Gaffer, has died, and John returns to attend the funeral and also help with the gathering of the sheep. A celebration before The Gathering is soon approaching, known as Devil's Day, where the family prepares a feast and engages in festivities, song, and rhyme to banish the devil from the moor. The devil, however, has already settled in the Endlands, and John's family is infested with evil. There is something sinister on the farm. Hurley presents the reader with an isolated set of characters with an overzealous sense of family loyalty and deep roots in superstition and folklore. Kat, the outsider, is the most sensitive to this sense of foreboding, and only wants to get through the gathering and leave for home as soon as possible. John, on the other hand, has a compulsion to return permanently to the farm that only grows stronger each day. I loved the writing, the foreshadowing, and the fearful apprehension that pervades the story; however, with that much anticipation I expected a powerful, revelatory ending and was left feeling unsatisfied. Hurley could have done so many things with the surprises he leads the reader to expect, and the story didn't deliver. I was left with more questions than answers. Still, Devil's Day is worth the read. Also be sure to check out Hurley's book, The Loney, if you love a dark, mysterious tale. Many thanks to Edelweiss and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for this advance copy.

      John Pentecost, the narrator of this gripping, disturbing and chilling story, was brought up on a farm in the Endlands, a remote group of smallholdings in the wild, inhospitable Lancashire uplands. Although generations of his family had eked a living from this harsh environment, John had escaped to university, become an English teacher at an exclusive boys’ school in Suffolk, married Katherine, a local vicar’s daughter and had made only occasional visits back to the farm. However, he becomes increasingly bored with teaching and, when Katherine becomes pregnant his yearning for the farming community he had rejected becomes stronger. When his grandfather dies, leaving the farm to pass to John’s ailing father Tom, he and Katherine return to go to the funeral. They stay afterwards to help with the annual Gathering, the time in autumn when the sheep are rounded up from the high fells and brought down to the farms before the harsh conditions of winter set in. What Katherine doesn’t realise is that her husband is determined not to return to Suffolk but wants to help his father manage the farm. He is convinced that his wife will fall in love with the farm, recognise the pull of tradition and duty and come to see this as a precious inheritance. Unsurprisingly Katherine doesn’t share his enthusiasm; unsettled by the strangeness of everything, and everyone, she encounters, she is desperate to return home to.Local myth has it that the previous century, during a blizzard which left this small community cut off for weeks, the Devil found a home on the moors. Known locally as the “Owd Feller”, a shape-shifting creature who is able to take possession of man and beast alike, he is feared in a powerfully visceral way by the locals, with anything bad or unusual which happens being attributed to him. Tradition has it that before the annual Gathering takes place the community must lure him down from the high moors, on what is known as Devil’s Day. This temptation takes the form of offerings of wine, lamb stew and music so that, when replete and intoxicated, he can be chased off by the sheepdogs in order to keep the flock and the community safe during the coming winter. Told in flashbacks this story captures the claustrophobic nature of small, insular communities where people are steeped in tradition and ritual, where making a living is hard work and a constant challenge, where animals mysteriously disappear or get sick and die for no apparent reason, where walls fall down and buildings decay because there are never enough hours in the day, or enough people, to achieve that needs to be done. It is all too easy to see how belief in the Devil as the bringer of disaster finds room to flourish, how the myths about his activities abound, as do the rituals adopted to try to ward him off. As an outsider it is all too easy to scoff at this belief in a malign, all-powerful presence but Andrew Hurley is a master at making his readers question their sceptical certainties! He is equally adept at evoking a powerful sense of time and place by using well-chosen words to capture a way of life which depends on people feeling as hefted to their community and way of life as their sheep are to their moorland territory. This is a way of life which requires some sacrifice of personal choice in order to enable the community to survive. For instance, it requires people to set aside personal grief and sentiment when floods, blizzards or frozen ground prevent immediate burial of their deceased relatives. Occasionally it might be possible to carry the coffin, via the narrow “corpse road”, over the moor to the next village for burial but, if the blizzard takes hold when they are en-route, there is an acceptance that the coffin must be abandoned until the weather improves – “what has to be done was much more important than what had to be felt”. I live in hill-farming country in the North Pennines and so many of the author’s descriptions of this way of life, and the traditions which surround it, felt so very familiar – as did his wonderfully evocative description of a jacket “… so soiled with grease that it had an iridescent sheen to it….” Having encountered many such jackets when queuing next to farmers in the local supermarket, I could not only immediately recognise that description, I could also smell that ancient build-up of grease! Having read and enjoyed Andrew Michael Hurley’s remarkable debut novel, The Loney, (winner of the 2015 Costa First Novel Award) I had wondered whether his second novel could possibly live up to my hopes and expectations. However, I need not have feared because Devil’s Day is equally powerful and engaging – in fact I think it is an even better one! I found that each one of his characters was immediately convincing because he succeeded in portraying their endless struggles to live with the precarious nature of their environment. His unsentimental descriptions of the frequently cruel and bloody nature of farming and country life added depth and authenticity to his descriptions of their lives. He captured a sense that, whatever their disagreements, when the community was threatened they were usually able to come together for the common good, as he did the way in which they used myths, superstitions and rituals as a way of making sense of their shared history. Paradoxically, he also showed how the comfort of ritual can just as easily turn into a noose, strangling any idea of moving forward if people allow themselves to remain in its grip.I think that in this story the sense of menace the author evoked was even more powerful than it was in his first novel. I certainly found myself feeling caught up in the grip of something evil taking hold and there were moments when I hardly dared to turn the page for fear of what might happen next – and I have also been left with an absolute determination to never again to eat a blackberry picked after Michaelmas Day! (If you don’t already know this superstition, you’ll just have to read the book to discover why, after that date, you should leave any remaining fruit on the bush for the birds to eat!) As well as the sense of authenticity which Andrew Hurley captures in his writing, I really appreciate the elegance and the literary quality of his writing and the fact that he makes every word count in his story-telling, with not one description feeling superfluous. As with The Loney, I know that Devil’s Day is a story which will linger in my memory for a long time to come, always a very satisfying way to come to the end of a book. With themes including the pull of family traditions and expectations, what it means to feel exiled from your roots, the nature of long-held secrets, the power of myth and ritual and the place of folklore in communities, the nature of evil – and many others – this would make an ideal choice for reading groups.

      Having enjoyed immensely The Loney with the quiet and isolated Lancastrian coast, I was hoping to be equally enthralled by Devil's Day where John Pentecost returns to the place of his childhood, the rural farming community of the Briardale Valley known as the Endlands. On this trip he is accompanied by his wife Katherine who is heavily pregnant with their first child. The reason for the journey is to attend his grandfather's funeral affectionately known to everyone as Gaffer. Whereas The Loney had a great story to tell with a very unsettling conclusion, I found Devil's Day a rather laborious exercise and almost give up at the half way point. It is really a story of rituals, local folklore and introverted hillside sheep farmers. Legend has it that once a year the Devil returns to the valley in an attempt to unsettle the community and cause mischief amongst the sheep. By telling tales, regurgitating stories from the past, and redrawing the boundary lines it is hoped that the Devil can be kept isolated and the people of Endlands kept safe for another year. Endlands is that rare thing a place separate from the intrusion of the modern age entrenched in tradition and a population willing to fight for independence to maintain their link with the past. John Pentecost is drawn to the beauty and harshness, his wife Kat feels very uneasy as she is seen as an outsider and viewed with suspicion; tolerated more than accepted. There is however one acceptation, Grace Dyer, a young and rather consused teenager who with her odd power of prediction forms a very disquieting attraction towards a pregnant Kat. The story is somewhat confusing and at times hard to follow as we view Endlands both in the present and the past. The narration is through the eyes of John Pentecost and we meet him in the present, in the company of his son Adam, trying to instil him the ways of his ancestors then, without warning we are immediately in the past again with a pregnant and suspicious Kat. Whereas The Loney used the landscape to great affect creating a wonderful modern horror story Devil's Day has some good ideas and moments played out through the characters of John, Kat, Adam, Grace and Dadda but essentially little seems to happen and ultimately leading to a somewhat predictable conclusion. Many thanks to netgalley and the publisher John Murray for a gratis copy in exchange for an honest review and that is what I have written.
