Description
Those who love Folk Horror and the work of M R James and Arthur Machen will find themselves in a familiar world of scholarly reverie and the obsessive persuit of arcane knowledge when turning the pages of Ben Tweddell’s new novella
‘The Domain of the Pale Queen’
A hypnotic and fatalistic vein pulses through Tweddell’s exquisitely crafted and sublime prose, where the door to an ancient world is opened, the veil is lifted and a devine and terrible force is awakened.

Introduction by Damian Murphy
To Speak in Golden Tongues *
The Domain of the Pale Queen *
The Game of the Great God Pan
The House of the Moon

As Edwin Carrington attempts to uncover a nightmare from the past among the eerie waterlands of the Somerset Levels, ancient sorceries come chillingly to the surface…”
