Daniel Kokotajlo follows his award-winning debut Apostasy with a haunting adaptation of Andrew Michael Hurley’s acclaimed novel.
After relocating to their remote family estate Starve Acre, archaeologist Richard and his wife Juliette find their relationship tested when their young son starts exhibiting strange behaviour. As familial fractures deepen, Richard digs into the dark and disturbing folklore surrounding his childhood home. Thick with portentous atmosphere and rich in bold stylistic choices, Kokotajlo’s meditation on grief and memory roots itself as an instant classic of contemporary folk horror.
