Donald R. Rawe - Haunted Landscapes

[johnnymains]

(Lodneck Press, 1994)

Here are nine stories of the occult, set in the haunted landscape of south-west Britain, told by a Cornish author whose work is reaching an ever-increasing audience. Firmly rooted in their ancient backgrounds, they evoke, among other themes, lost souls of monks at Roskilly House on the North Cornish coast; the ordeal of Terrence and Hilda and what they found in an old cottage on Bodmin Moor; the shocking experience of a schoolmaster snowed up on Exmoor; a heretic burnt at the stake in Exeter; and a night when the Celtic gods walked in a primeval wood.

Written in the great tradition of Edgar Allan Poe, M.R. James and Arthur Machen, eerie, poetic, humourous and satirical by turns, these tales will delight all who enjoy good writing and relish the frissons of thr unknown and the paranormal.

That sounds very cool, Johnny! I will try and look for that on Archive.

I hope things are going well. Or as good as possible.
