The Source
Tempting, teasing, the girl had enticed her out into the summer night.
A girl who had been killed—a car crash—six years ago…
Sharp-eyed and weatherbeaten, the old farm worker had eyed her knowingly as he trudged past.
An old man who, seven years before, had been found murdered: a pitchfork through his throat and his body slashed open in the form of a bloody cross…
But the car she had seen swerving, skidding off the road, plunging over the quarry’s edge: that lay in the future.
On the hill the Standing Stones loomed; hostile, living memorials of an age before Christianity. Of an ancient religion whose hour had come again.
Suddenly the village was a trap and the time of sacrifice was drawing near.
