About this listen

"Gripping, gruesome, dark and dripping" A.F. Harold

Nobody talks about the strange happenings in Maimsbury. No one speaks of the hooded figures glimpsed in the woods, nor the children's game that went so horribly wrong. But most of all, nobody dares whisper their doubts about the river they have worshipped for centuries.

Like everyone in Maimsbury, Gorse is used to the sacrifices made every spring to the River Yeelde. The life of a farm animal—in return for a year of plenty—seems a fair trade. That is, until a tragedy leads Gorse to a blood-curdling discovery.

Because this year is a Brim Year, and after giving so much, the river needs more than an animal's life to sate its thirst....

PRAISE FOR THIRST:

"A gripping tale infused with dark secrets and superstitions" Phil Hickes, author of The Haunting of Aveline Jones

"What a story! Properly creepy Wicker Man vibes with seemingly effortless world building and characters you'll take to your heart. Loved it" Jennifer Killick, author of Crater Laker

"This gruesomely imagined folk horror is the most brilliantly dark and dangerously fun book I've read all year" Keith Gray, author of Creepers
