In the quiet lanes and mist-laced woods of Edwardian Shropshire lies the university town of Wendlelow, a place steeped in folklore, and shadowed by things far older than memory.
Elspeth McGinnity, a young widow with a keen eye for old tales and older truths, serves as both folklorist and investigator of the inexplicable. With the help of her steadfast cousin and assistant, Nolan Perkins, she delves into mysteries that defy science and reason, from prehistoric devils lurking beneath the hills, to restless spirits that whisper by lonely lakes, and creatures that should not walk where men tread.
For this is witch-haunted, boggart-cursed Wendlelow, hearth and home to the strange.
Pity those who dwell here.
Curl up by the fire, dim the lights, and prepare to be horrified.
