Thatchbury is a village much like any other, yet beneath the surface flows a stream of angst and superstition. The shadow of Thickets Wood creeps amongst its people like a primeval mist, bringing torment and desperation. Do Charlie Whitehall and young Tommy Tinkit come under its destructive power, driving their minds to despair, or is the darkness a consequence of their own guilt and fear? Thickets Wood is a compelling work of psychological suspense, and Rebecca Reid is an emerging writer to watch. Her self-published first novel, The Coop, was published in 2012 to much critical praise: 'Brilliant.' - Colin Bateman 'Original and disturbing. This is a beautifully written debut.' - Sue Leonard, Irish Examiner 'Great page turner!' - Marie-Louise Muir, Arts Extra, BBC Radio Ulster
