Devil's Day by Andrew Michael Hurley, published in 2017.

I loved Devil's Day, Hurley's second novel, as much as his first, The Loney. He moves the setting from the bleak Lancashire coast to a bleak fictional valley at the top of the River Ribble watershed in the Forest of Bowland, based on the Langden Valley. The folk horror theme is maintained with beautiful prose evoking the beauty and cruelty of nature and a detailed history of the valley, farms, and village at the foot of the moors, Underclough.

Andrew Michael Hurley (born 1975) is a British writer whose debut novel, The Loney, was published in a limited edition of 350 copies on 1 October 2014 by Tartarus Press - Wikipedia

Enjoyed this gothic horror novel, mostly set in the north Lancashire coast between the Wyre and Lune estuaries in the 70s. I am reminded of how I decided age 10 at the same time became an atheist that Christianity was quite weird! Hurley has created a different version of that mostly flat landscape, incorporating some aspects of the land further North in the Silverdale area—mysterious and enthralling.
