Some God, Some Angel, Some Devil - Out Now!

The screams of his dead wife obliterate all else.

A black comedy, a murder (possibly) a mystery (definitely).

This play was first performed in 1993 by Exiled Theatre.

Christmas on the Black Meadow - On Sale Now


 Click on the picture to buy!


A perfect Christmas gift for the Black Meadow traveler in your life (or you could buy it for yourself!)

 Do you see shadows in the mist? Are you stalked by meadow hags? Do you long to play with black stars? Do you crave a darker yule?

Then this book could be for you!


It is Christmas on the North York Moors.

The snow sits upon the heather and bramble. The fences around  
RAF Fylingdales are silent and still. A dense mist grows in the 
distance. If you listen closely you can hear strange Yuletide chants,
the hum of a land sphere and the cackle of a meadow hag.

This collection of Christmas tales from the Black Meadow 
contains three new Yuletide stories. Experience a beautiful 
inversion of The Nativity in A Black Meadow Christmas, warm
 your toes in a tale of matriarchal terror in The Meadow Tree and 
marvel at the delightful wonders of The Black Star. You will also find
 details of ideal gifts you could give and games that you can play 
when visiting the Black Meadow.

With beautiful illustrations by Andy Paciorek and Nigel Wilson, this is a festive treat that will bring joy and fear in equal measure to your Christmas celebrations.

All profits from the sale of this book 
go to Worldwide Cancer Research.


Please note...
You can buy Christmas on the Black Meadow around the world. Most of the Amazon outlets are now selling it...
So whether you are in the US, the UK, Germany, Canada, France, Spain, or Italy you can buy this lovely little Yuletide terror.
