A graveyard in the Outer Hebrides. The leafy suburbs of Oxford. The Black Cuillin ridge. A strange museum in Iceland. A Manx fairy glen. A deserted Scottish isle. A Welsh woodland mansion. A haunted cottage on Skye. A pagan site on the Wirral Peninsula. A forbidden estate on Mull. These are the settings for excursions into the uncanny. They are largely inspired by real places where the author has felt a nuance of, in that inimitable German word, the Unheimlich.
A fabulous new collection of ten tales from the author of A Certain Slant of Light and Phantasms and Strange Epiphanies is sure to hit the right note with aficionados of the supernatural tale. And the previously published “The Executioner”, “The Island” & “Sithean” have been substantially re-written for this volume.
Foreword by the Author and a superbly atmospheric wrap jacket painting by the ever brilliant Paul Lowe.
Stories: Apotheosis, The House, The Executioner, Many Shades of Red, The Virgin Mary Well, The Island, Wild Wales, Sithean, Blackberry Time & The Robing of the Bride
