Phantoms of Kernow
Phantoms of Kernow
A follow-up volume to the bestselling Cornish Horrors, published in this series in 2020.
As the storm booms out in the bay and the waves smash against the rocks, the masts of a cursed and spectral vessel are drawing near. As the mists roll over Bodmin Moor, the moonlight reveals a night alive with spirits.
Welcoming a fresh roster of seaside spectres, tin-mine terrors and holiday haunters, this return to the bountiful fold of Cornish horror fiction features more lost classics from Victorian periodicals alongside atmospheric tales from the great twentieth-century writers of the Cornish weird such as Mary Williams, Mary Butts and Sabine Baring-Gould.
Phantoms of Kernow captures the eerie essence of Cornwall's haunted landscape, seamlessly blending the old world with the modern, ensuring a chilling read for fans of the supernatural.
