Scarfolk is a town in North West England that did not progress beyond 1979. Instead, the entire decade of the 1970s loops ad infinitum.
Here in Scarfolk, pagan rituals blend seamlessly with science; hauntology is a compulsory subject at school, and everyone must be in bed by 8pm because they are perpetually running a slight fever. "Visit Scarfolk today. Our number one priority is keeping rabies at bay." For more information please reread.

Pretty funny ( in a grim way ) stuff.

It’s pretty sinister and (IMO) brilliant. It really should be turned into a TV series, maybe directed by the Coen brothers.
EDIT: Don't miss the readers' comments!

Yes! Very darkly funny book! Though that video of "Demons Comes in All Sizes & Shapes" is *creepy!
Happy Earth Day from Scarfolk
