"The stand out entries include "Beyond the Moor" a poem about a maiden accosted by a bandit who remains unafraid due to having been to the “beyond” of the title and returned. Also of note are "Children of the Black Meadow" where a bereaved mother resurrects her deceased kids as blackberry bramble homunculi; cyclical damnation tale "The Coal Man and the Creature" and the paranoia-inducing sucker punch "The Watcher From the Village" ... this is a collection that strongly invites a second reading.." - STARBURST MAGAZINE

When Professor R. Mullins of the University of York went missing in 1972 on the site of the area known as Black Meadow atop of the North Yorkshire Moors, he left behind him an extensive body of work that provided a great insight into the folklore of this mysterious place.
Writer Chris Lambert has been rooting through Mullins' files for over ten years and now presents this collection of weird and macabre tales.
Marvel at tales such as The Rag and Bone Man, The Meadow Hag, The Fog House, The Land Spheres and The Children of the Black Meadow.
What is the mystery surrounding The Coalman and the Creature?
Who or what is The Watcher in the Village?
What is the significance of the Shining Apples?
Why is it dangerous to watch the Horsemen dance?
Beautifully illustrated by Nigel Wilson these tales will haunt you for a long time to come.
"Can you tell me, maiden fairCan you tell me if or whereI shall see my child againWalk upon the fields of men?Will she ever stumble backFrom the meadow all a’black?"
