Voices in the Valley

'Barrowbeck, in the north of England, has a reputation for strangeness. It is a place that brings out the sin in people. But despite the dark isolation, people have lived there for centuries until the river got the better of them.'

Andrew Michael Hurley ('The Loney', 'Devil's Day', 'Starve Acre') presents 10 Aickman-esque tales revolving around the Northern English village of Barrowbeck.  Made for the BBC the stories are read by Maxine Peake, Reece Shearsmith, Alexandra Hannant, David Schofield, Siobhan Finneran, Paul Hilton, Toby Jones, Tamsin Greig, David Hounslow and Jessica Raine and tell the story of the town and it's troublesome river in stories that touch on science fiction and folk horror and tell of fertility and fairs, divorce and drownings, hibernation and hauntings in perfectly formed - and performed - little vignettes.
