Beschreibung
A half-forgotten harvest ritual still casting a long shadow ... picture-perfect seaside holiday villages hiding simmering resentments and the odd dark secret ... old houses with very long memories ...

East Anglia - the eastern-most part of England - has long been famous for its haunted landscapes, weird encounters and supernatural narratives. The classic tradition of ghost story writing established by M R James, E F Benson and others is still alive and well, with new writers finding their own inspiration in places that still, despite all the intrusions of the modern world, manage to maintain their distinctiveness.

In fifteen original, evocative and often deeply uncanny short stories, infused with local history and a powerful sense of place, Barendina Smedley conjures up a vision of Norfolk where, like it or not, the past is ever-present, and always ready to spill over into the ordinary stuff of everyday life.
