The Hill in the Dark Grove: An evening with Liam Higginson

Set in the mountains of North Wales, The Hill in the Dark Grove is an incredibly assured, atmospheric debut novel that draws inspiration from folklore, legends and folk horror. Praised by writers like Kiran Millwood Hargrave, Claire Fuller & Ian Maguire, we're excited to welcome Liam Higginson to West Kirby to discuss with Jordan from the bookshop, before answering questions from the audience and signing copies of the book.

Join us on Wednesday 18th February as we take a deep dive into Liam's literary inspirations, writing craft, the landscape of North Wales and much more besides. Tickets are £6 standard admission or £20 including a hardback copy of The Hill in the Dark Grove. Complimentary refreshments will be provided.

See you there!

About The Hill in the Dark Grove:

Moving and chilling, The Hill in the Dark Grove is a story about a lost way of life and the terrifying lengths we go to to protect what we know.

Carwyn and Rhian – the last in a long line of sheep farmers – are living out a brutal year on their hillside farm, deep in the mountains of North Wales.

When Carwyn discovers a buried prehistoric ruin in one of the fields on their land, his curiosity quickly descends into obsession. His wife, Rhian, meanwhile, is confronted with the growing realization that the man with whom she shares her life and home is becoming a frightening stranger.

As the harsh winter closes in, Rhian finds herself alone with her increasingly unrecognizable husband, and the mountains, and the looming megalithic stones.
