A Darker Act

folk horror filled with lush romance and wild moors

Lush romance and chill-inducing shivers combine in this YA tale of folk horror inspired by the legend of the Wild Hunt! Months after a harrowing performance, a teen girl reunites with her acting troupe for a camping weekend in the woods - only to find something they awakened has followed them there.

There's something on those moors that likes to hunt young maidens for sport.

When high school senior Hazel joins her school's elite theatre group, the Edgemoor Players, all she's looking for is one more extracurricular to add to her packed college resume. This year, the Players are putting on their most ambitious production yet: a tragic romance inspired by local legends of a ghostly huntsman who is said to have once stalked the nearby moors.

That was then. Now, no one talks about the play, its disastrous final performance, or the strange, eerie happenings which preceded it. But when Hazel signs up for an extra credit camping trip months later, she finds herself suddenly reunited with her former castmates for a weekend.

Trapped together in the woods, Hazel will have to confront her old friends - including Roman, the Players' enigmatic leading man. And they will all have to reckon with a far deadlier truth: that what they started last year isn't over.

Months ago, the Edgemoor Players woke something up - and now it won't rest until it catches its prey.
