Beschreibung

Beams were dancing on the waters of the Skirfare; the moonlight falling on the hills formed them into fantastic shapes... With a slight indescribable kind of fear I bent my steps homewards. Along with its great swathes of natural moorland beauty and cities steeped in folklore and history, Yorkshire has a rich literary heritage, populated by innumerable phantoms, faeries and witches, as well as local legends like the bargest (a death-heralding ghost-dog). Gathering the greatest stories of the weird and uncanny set among the breathtaking Dales, rugged coast and bustling towns of God's Own County, Elizabeth Dearnley presents a new collection of chilling tales, with fresh research exploring examples of Yorkshire's uniquely haunting influence on horror literature, such as Whitby Abbey's role in the creation of Bram Stoker's Dracula.
