Once again those good folks from the Folk Horror Revival have produced another massive, but reasonably priced, two volume tome. These books step away from the haunted fields and furrows of their previous investigations and explorations, and explore the stangness of streets and towns, the spectral landscapes of our cities.
Once again, I have made a contribution to this epic project, a length history and examination of Ghostwatch, exploring the genesis and history of this infamous piece of Halloween TV and how the programme Ghostwatch and its aftermath became a something of legendary ghost story in itself.
Also like the previous companion volumes (all available here), all profits go to wildlife and conservation charities. So then you are not only getting massive books filled with world class articles but a host of famous names but also helping preserve our marvellous countryside and wildlife.
