Description

PART OF THE NORTHERN WEIRD PROJECT

In the near future, England is experiencing the hottest summer in living memory. An unnamed environmental scientist is tasked with evaluating the impact of a controversial new wind farm on the West Yorkshire moors. Camped out alone by the base of Turbine 34 – the most remote of the new turbines, built on an ancient peat bog – she spends her days gathering samples. But when she discovers signs of the devastation caused by the construction, she begins to see things – things that shouldn't be there. She has dedicated her life to protecting the moor, but will it protect her?

Inspired by a real-life proposed wind farm in the North of England, Turbine 34 is for readers of Dark Matter and Wuthering Heights with a dash of folk horror.
