Once again Rosemary Pardoe will edit and introduce what (she says) might be her final Ghosts & Scholars anthology (the seventh!). A good place to finish with the volume Ro has always wanted to do.
Thirteen
devilishly eerie tales where the authors have taken English landscapes and the
strange figures, images and patterns often depicted and carved thereon as
inspiration for truly uncanny and weird histories… Six of the stories have been selected from (mainly) small press
publications and seven are brand new and were written expressly for this volume
(including one by the editor herself ~ the first Jane Bradshawe story in almost
forty years).
The reprints:
“The Madness of a Chalk Giant” by Colin Insole. “Figures on a Hillside”
by Steve Duffy. “The Pharisees’ Glass” by R.B. Russell. “Chalk” by Katherine
Haynes. “The Regulars” by David Longhorn. “All I Ever See” by Mike Chinn.
The ‘new’ stories:
“The White Round” by John Howard. “Lob Top” by Christopher Harman. “And
Then There’s Place-Name Studies” by John Whitbourn. “The Scouring” by Carole
Tyrrell. “Dyrehill Park” by C.E. Ward. “The Lickey Beast” by David A. Sutton
and “The Lady and the Unicorn” by Mary Ann Allen (aka Rosemary Pardoe).
Paul Lowe has (once again) provided a quite
exceptional and brilliant dust jacket painting and a pretty scary black &
white frontispiece.

*I’ve noticed a number of items sent tracked of
late have not been scanned by the post services as they should and have arrived
safely at their destination without their route being fully “tracked”. This is,
of course, out of my control … please bear this in mind when choosing tracked
shipping.
