TC Eglington and Simon Davis ‘Thistlebone’ signing announced

To celebrate the release of the second collection of chilling folk horror series THISTLEBONE, creators TC Eglington and Simon Davis will be signing at Gosh Comics in London on Saturday 14 May from 1-2pm.

Described by A Field in England director Ben Wheatley as “folk horror that will burrow under your skin”, Thistlebone is a sinister slow-burn of a series set in contemporary Britain, where the survivor of a bizarre woodland cult struggles to find answers to what happened to her.

It’s been over a year since journalist Seema Chaudry accompanied survivor Avril Easton back to the village of Harrowvale, the site of her terrifying experiences at the hands of the worshippers led by Jasper Hillman, a crazed occult cult that believed in the ancient woodland deity known only as Thistlebone.Intended as a cathartic experience, both women were changed forever by what they were confronted with. In the process of researching for a book on the Thistlebone legend, Seema believes much of it centres around one man — Malcolm Kinniburgh.

The hardcover collection of Thistlebone: Poisoned Roots is out on 11 May and is available to pre-order now.
