Little Nettlebed is a village steeped in the uncanny, from strange creatures that wash up on the riverbank to portentous ravens gathering on the roofs of people about to die. But when the villagers start to hear barking, and one claims to see a girl transform before his very eyes, allegations spark fascination and fear like nothing has before.
A richly atmospheric parable of the pleasures and perils of female defiance, THE HOUNDING considers whether in any age it might be safer to be a dog than an unusual young girl.
