The Murderling
Does a baby left to die in the woods have the right to avenge its parents?
The year is 1931. A travelling merchant has been murdered on the North York Moors. The nature of his murder - crushed to death from head-to-toe by something immensely powerful - suggests a mythical creature from Scandinavian folklore.
Could this be a murderling, avenging its own murder as a child; a child left to die in the woods by peasant parents with no money and no conscience?
Horror writer Alastair Harper heads to Draymoor in deepest, darkest North Yorkshire to find out.
But not all is as it seems.
The Murderling is a short story for lovers of Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie.
