Haunted Devon



Single-voiced Horror Anthology Audio Book


Synopsis:

Past, present and future collide in this hauntology of late Victorian gothic horror.  

 

Rural Devon 1874. As the full extent of modernity imposes its dark rationality across the land, a monster is summoned from the past, deep in the heart of an ancient forest.

A deity? A creature? A ghost? All and yet none of these. Yet murder, destruction and madness is called forth by an entity that haunts both physical and metaphysical space - a beast that stalks us still. 

 

Revealed in a lost diary, these strange and unnerving tales speak to our darkest fears. For this universe is full of witches, demonic ritual, twisted men, vampires and deities which lie dormant - waiting, patiently, to be awakened.


These forces, however, had not bargained for simple kindness and community, the bond of friendship between two unlikely sleuths, whose fight for the values of nation and personage, for their very lives and their undying soul, reveals their greatest strength is to be found within their own frailties. 


With a driving narrative, at once exhilarating, poetic and unsettling, Haunted Devon illuminates the eternal battle within the human heart against those bestial, dark and unsympathetic intelligences who seek only to overwhelm and claim us all.
