There's been such an interest in folk horror in recent years but the focus always tends to be the rural. Engines Beneath Us brilliantly demonstrates that urban communities are every bit as apt to hold their own strange secrets and traditions. I love how the story starts by surfacing memories of a British inner city childhood and then, in the telling of what happened to the narrator's incomer friend, Lee, exposes the layers of weirdness that lie beneath it. And the weirdness is....very weird.
A strange, tragic story. Reminiscent of some of the best of the British 90s slipstream writing, of which publisher TTA Press was at the heart.
