An excellent and on the nose review of "Tales from the Black Meadow" book and CD in Jim Moon's Hypnobob's latest podcast.
Jim Moon reviews a selection of spooky books including works by Jeremy Dyson and M.R. James.
"Tales from the Black Meadow is a wonderful exercise in English strangeness. It taps into not only authentic British folklore but it is also mining the same vein of English eeriness that we find in odd 70's TV shows such as "The Owl Service" and "Children of the Stones"...
"A banquet of weirdness..."
"...marvellously atmospheric collection... a great book to have by the arm chair on the long winter nights..."
"very atmospheric black and white illustrations courtesy of Mr Nigel Wilson"
"...as you'll discover when you sample all the delights Professor Mullins brought back from the Black Meadow, different poems stories and songs do interweave in a subtle way giving you a sense of a distinct mythology that while uniting all of the material also remains just tantalisingly out of reach."
