Hedge End

by Peter Mark May

Creatures trapped for centuries, free at last…to kill! The forest has always been there, and the high hedge around it has stood since Roman times. No one remembers anymore why the hedge was built, and bit by bit, as houses and modern life advance, the ancient barrier is being torn down. Slowly, creatures that have been trapped within for centuries are creeping through the gaps in the wall, hungry for revenge for their long imprisonment. As murder and horror spread through the nearby town of Hedge End, a stranger arrives, eager to give the residents a May Day celebration they will never forget.

Hedge End is a mythical-based English countryside tale of horror. Good vs. Evil. There are plenty of woodland spirits and creatures and humans that both prove to be monstrous and friendly. Sides must be chosen and a war will ensue. Mr. May has written a detailed, character oriented story with some eerie and scary moments, but it is the human factor that proves the most terrifying. Another fine addition to the Samhain horror line. Not high on the gore, blood factor, but the story doesnt need it.
