I loved this but can totally understand why some people would struggle with it. This is English folk horror at its best. It reminded me of a 60/70s horror I saw along time ago (can't remember what it's called) where a teacher suddenly realises that there are devil worshipers in the village where she works. Nobody believes her and she slowly descends into madness. The only reason it's not 5 stars is that it does seem overly wordy in places especially in the middle and I found myself tripping over words.
