GHOSTLAND: IN SEARCH OF A HAUNTED COUNTRY

Come in search of the ‘sequestered places’ of the British Isles - lonely moors, moss-covered cemeteries, stark shores and folkloric woodlands. These landscapes have conjured and shaped literature and cinema including the ghost stories and weird fiction of M R James, Arthur Machen and Algernon Blackwood; the children’s fantasy novels of Alan Garner and Susan Cooper; W G Sebald’s The Rings of Saturn and Graham Swift’s Waterland; and ‘folk horror’ films such as The Wicker Man.
