The Ghost of Scarside Beck

An animalistic mediaeval heretic returns to Lakeland.

A pair of newlyweds take up residence in an idyllic Cumbrian parish, but an enigmatic carving in the local church seems to hold the key to their fates, as well as a link to the deep past. An understated ghostly novelette whose initial light tone builds to a dark, and chilling, climax. Click here to view.


At Fall of Night

A Tale of Obsession, Terror, and Supernatural Retribution.

Welcome to a Victorian country estate in the county of Wiltshire. It is the autumn of 1843, and Monsieur Benoit Lavarnier, toast of the Parisian art world and a man of cultured accomplishments, finds himself commissioned to paint a portrait of renowned beauty, Lady Helena Brocklington. He arrives, so it would seem, not only with the accoutrements of his trade, but also with something sinister lurking in his train. He soon finds himself so smitten with his subject, and so invested in his work, that the resultant piece becomes imbued with an essence that could, perhaps, be construed as akin to a life force. Could it be, that so many decades after its completion, something beyond the paint itself endures? Click here to view.


Epona

A Gothic Ghost Story in which a Celtic Goddess Thirsts for Vengeance.

A disturbing tale of the supernatural in which the Victorian gothic meets folk horror, bringing the world of Romano-Celtic Britain into collision with the forces of 19th-century progress.


Welcome to rural Wiltshire in the spring of 1846. Was it the molecatcher or the navvies who brought it back? Neither would claim it as their own, and neither would wish to. Whatever it should be, it would seem that it finds its pleasure in the riot of the chase, and in the singling out, and punishment, of its particular quarry. A companion piece to At Fall of Night.
