When you hear the lamb behind you… don’t turn around.

The Yorkshire Dales have always had rules.

Stay on the marked paths. Don’t walk alone at dusk. And if you hear something following you that shouldn’t be there — keep going.

After a string of unexplained disappearances unsettles the quiet villages of the Dales, whispers begin to spread. Hikers vanish without struggle. Cyclists leave their bikes propped neatly against dry-stone walls. A child swears she heard a lamb crying in the woods long after the farms had brought their flocks in for the night.

No blood. No bodies. Only the sound.

As fear tightens its grip on the valley, those who go searching begin to realise something far worse than a predator is at work. The thing moving between the trees is not chasing.

It’s calling.

And if you answer — even once — it learns you.

Blending rural crime, psychological suspense, and creeping folk horror, When the Lamb Calls explores what happens when something ancient discovers a new way to hunt — not with claws or teeth, but with familiarity.

Because when the lamb calls your name, there is nowhere left to run.
