If you like "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson, you might like this much longer exploration of the theme of a community united in the process of selecting and making a sacrifice.
If you like Katherine Kurtz's "Lammas Night" you might like this darker exploration of the themes.
Personally, as someone who has been both a devout Christian and a devout Pagan, I enjoyed the mutual incomprehension of Sgt. Howie and the islanders.
The writing is good, although not extraordinary. I've seen other reviews complaining that the characters don't have depth, but I don't think they need it. They are archetypes, just as much as the Hobbyhorse and Punch, who appear in the final pages. We know just as much as we need to about everyone in the story. To add details would have detracted from the mythic quality.
