A PHIL RICKMAN STANDALONE NOVEL A supernatural thriller from the author of the chilling Merrily Watkins Mysteries. Though dead for two millennia, he remains perfectly preserved in black peat. The Man in the Moss is one of the most fascinating finds of the century. But, for the isolated Pennine community of Bridelow, his removal is a sinister sign. A danger to the ancient spiritual tradition maintained, curiously, by the Mothers' Union. In the weeks approaching Samhain - the Celtic feast of the dead - tragedy strikes again in Bridelow. Scottish folk singer Moira Cairns and American film producer Mungo Macbeth discover their Celtic roots are deeper and darker than they imagined. And, as fundamentalist zealots of both Christian and satanic persuasions challenge an older, gentler faith, the village faces a natural disaster unknown since the reign of Henry VIII. Gripping throughout. Powerful, classic stuff. - The Times

This is the creepiest book I've read in a long time. A body is discovered in a peat bog...and removed. Bad move for the residents of Bridelow, and bad karma as the psychic integrity of their rather secluded village begins to crumble and things that shouldn't happen, that wouldn't have happened if the body was left in the bog, occur. Like the bog oak that takes on the characteristics of a dragon, the musician who makes it rain bones at a private concert, and the dead assuming a putrid unlife. Phil Rickman doesn't resort to slice and dice tactics to gross out his readers. He skillfully uses character development and shamelessly uses atmosphere to seep into the most timid parts of your mind, much like your worst nightmares. He's a real artist at raising the hairs on the back of your neck! If your air conditioner dies this summer, read Man in The Moss and raise a good case of the chills!
