This is the best fantasy/horror book I've read in years - although I'm not sure you could set it firmly in any genre. Set in what seems to be medieval England, it starts as a story about a band of travelers heading for safety in winter. Each character, even the ox that pulls their wagon, is so finely drawn you feel you know them. The historical detail is fantastic. Then a sense of menace and foreboding creeps up gradually, escalating into violence; you can't turn the pages fast enough. This book is so good.
