    “Book Descriptions: Christopher Harman is a former librarian and lives in Preston, Lancashire. His stories have appeared in magazines and anthologies over almost thirty years and this (sort of/mostly) retrospective and bumper collection of his work is really long overdue.

    Presenting an invitation to terror … here the reader will discover a dozen tales of Jamesian chills, creeping urban dread and rural folk horror … there is darkness even in the common-place. And for Mr Harman’s characters there appears to be no escape from the lurking horrors …

    Eleven of these stories were originally published (in magazines and anthologies) over a period of twenty years between 1994 and 2014 and are collected together here for the first time. The title novella “Blood Wood” was written especially and is wholly original to this volume.

    Stories: “The Children”, “Passengers”, “A Better Place”, “In the Fields”, “Dinckley Green”, “Sleepers”, “By Leaf and Thorn”, “The Last to be Found”, “Jackdaw Jack”, “Dark Tracks”, “Hill Shadows” and “Blood Wood”

    BLOOD WOOD is a Hand Numbered Limited Edition Jacketed Hardcover.

    Bound in ‘blood’ Red [what else] Cialux Italian cloth, Foil Blocked to Front & Spine in White, Quality Creamy Text Paper, Full Colour Printed Endpapers with a Marbled Design, Section Sewn binding, Red Head/Tailbands and Red Ribbon Bookmarker. Approx 232pp including prelims etc. Fabulous Full Colour Wrap Dust-Jacket Art by PAUL LOWE.”
