A Devil in the Fireplace (Part Two)
It wants to be let in. It's in no hurry to name its price. And it knows exactly where Agnes Marsh is standing.
Episode 5 continues the journal of Ashwrath's priest as he reads deeper into the Chronicle no bishop would sanction, and comes face to face with the thing his own book has been warning him about since the first page.
New voices this episode: Alison Tate, wife of Edmund Tate. Content note: themes of grief, plague-era death, folk horror and mild supernatural threat.
