Eerie East Anglia: Fearful Tales of Field and Fen (British Library Tales of the Weird)

A seaside honeymoon holiday is plagued by the mystery of bells which never stop ringing – and that which answers the call. Druidic rites and modernity spells disaster at a Norfolk golf course. An ancient relic found on the Suffolk coast summons a nightmarish entity to its discoverer.

A land of mind-stretching expanses, wide, yawning skies and the disorientating landscapes of the tidal fens, East Anglia has inspired a wide range of writers in the field of weird and uncanny fiction.

This new collection includes a wealth of tales from the past 130 years set in Norfolk, Essex, Suffolk and Cambridge by a host of authors including ghost tale luminaries M. R. James, Robert Aickman, E. F. Benson and Marjorie Bowen, alongside bright lights of modern weird writing.

Insightful introduction and notes from Norfolk-based award-winning author Edward Parnell.
