Tales from the Black Meadow
A new book of Supernatural short stories is being published
in September.
It is written by local author Chris Lambert and illustrated
by local artist Nigel Wilson.
This book explores the legendary “lost” village of Black
Meadow. A mysterious place on the North Yorkshire Moors that is described as
the “root of strange occurrences, nightmares and disappearances”.
The book will be
launched at Reading Central Library on September 19th at 7pm.
Entrance is free.
The launch will be an evening of drama, music, film,
readings and refreshments.
There will be a performance of “The Devil and the Yoked Man”
an adaptation of one of the short stories, a lecture about the mystery
surrounding Black Meadow as well as a new film adaptation of “Curse of the
Black Meadow”.
Do not go into the mist.
Do not dance with the horsemen.
Do not listen to the cry of the Rag and Bone Man.
Chris Lambert began investigating Black Meadow in
collaboration with Kev Oyston, a composer from Yorkshire. Kev Oyston created an
album of music for a “lost” Radio 4 Documentary “Curse of the Black Meadow”
that Chris helped to resurrect. Each track on the CD inspired Chris to write a
poem or story. It is a very exciting project that spans counties and shows the creative
opportunities that the internet provides.
Tales from the Black
Meadow is available to buy from Amazon and bookshops in Reading and
Yorkshire.
The album is available to buy from Amazon.
