The Hayton County Supernatural series is Margaret Marr’s creature horror duology. Creature (2020) and Banshee (2020) are set in rural Hayton County, where locals encounter supernatural threats.
Each book focuses on a different creature from folklore. Creature opens the series with something lurking in the rural landscape, while Banshee takes on the wailing spirit of Irish legend and plants it in an American setting. Both books were released in 2020.
The rural setting gives the horror a slow-burn quality. Isolated communities and empty stretches of land make for natural horror backdrops, and Marr uses the fictional Hayton County to build that kind of atmosphere across both entries.
