Horror desk
Duncan Ralston delivers a deeply unsettling folk horror experience in The Midwives, anchoring its terror in isolated rural dread and traditional community secrets. The novel builds a pervasive, suffocating atmosphere where the familiar turns threatening, targeting readers who appreciate slow-burning psychological tension over graphic shock. Rather than relying on standard jump scares, Ralston crafts a creeping sense of isolation and dread that lingers long after the final page. It is a fitting addition to our horror fiction shelves, suiting fans of atmospheric storytelling and unsettling folklore who enjoy stories exploring the dark corners of small-town insularity.
