Richard's Review:
Britain has a long history of ‘road’ ghosts. Spirits who linger over troubled spots, sometimes appearing on or next to the highway to startle and even terrify innocent travellers trying to make their way. One such is the wonderfully-named ‘Ruskington Horror’, a pale figure who for years has haunted a lonely stretch of road near Sleaford in Lincolnshire.
Claire Douglas has tapped into this rich tradition to create her own spectre-infested stretch of highway, The Devil’s Corridor, which she sets in rural Wiltshire. The road has a history of weird happenings including mysterious, unexplained deaths, sightings of hooded figures, and the eerie sound of a child crying, but only in the night. No weeping bairn is ever actually found, of course.
And so, the stage is set for a terrific, spooky story. We loved it.
