The novelisation of one of Hammer's first new horror films for thirty years.
 
Still grieving the death of their only child, Alice, a young couple relocate to the remote town of Wake Wood where they stumble on a group of villagers practising Pagan rituals. They soon learn that this ritual has the power to bring back the dead, and would allow them three days with their beloved daughter.

When terms are agreed with the sinister village leader Spall, far bigger questions begin to loom... what will they do when it's time for Alice to go back? Will she go back peacefully? Or are there more sinister forces at work?
