Eerie East Anglia
Fearful Tales of Field and Fen
Ed. Edward Parnell New Paperback
Postscript summary
With its wide skies, tidal fens and superstitions, East Anglia has long inspired tales of the uncanny. This collection includes the ghostly ‘“Oh, Whistle, and I’ll Come to You, My Lad”’ by Kent-born MR James, who wrote several horror stories set in the region; EF Benson’s ‘The Dust-Cloud’ with its haunted motorcar; and Robert Aickman’s ‘Ringing the Changes’, where the incessant tolling of church bells raises the dead.
Product information
Full publisher description
A seaside honeymoon holiday is plagued by the
mystery of bells which never stop ringing - and that which answers the call.
Druidic rites and modernity spells disaster at a Norfolk golf course. An
ancient relic found on the Suffolk coast summons a nightmarish entity to its
discoverer.
A land of mind-stretching expanses, wide, yawning
skies and the disorientating landscapes of the tidal fens, East Anglia has
inspired a wide range of writers in the field of weird and uncanny fiction.
This new collection includes a wealth of tales from
the past 130 years set in Norfolk, Essex, Suffolk and Cambridge by a host of
authors including ghost tale luminaries M. R. James, Robert Aickman, E. F.
Benson and Marjorie Bowen, alongside bright lights of modern weird writing.
Insightful introduction and notes from Norfolk-based award-winning author Edward Parnell
