Marc Harris was born in Cardiff in 1962. Marc has previously written three books. Two of these were Rhythms of Nature, a poetry book, and Sentience, a poetry pamphlet. A third book, Wild Tales & Rural Rides, an anthology of travel and nature writing, containing non-fiction, poems and short stories, was published in 2018. Marc has also written articles and short stories for many magazines, including Evergreen, Explore England, This England and The Countryman, and specialist fishing magazines such as Fallon's Angler and Waterlog. An accomplished poet, Marc's poems have been published in high-profile magazines such as Agenda, Poetry Ireland and The New Welsh Review. He now divides his time between a house in Dinas Powys, where he lives for part of the year, and a caravan with stunning views of the sea, overlooking the islands of Flat Holm and Steep Holm in the Vale of Glamorgan. He lives with his two rescue cats, which keep him company and entertained, and which he adores.

Klappentext

A young girl waits on a storm-tossed beach for a mother lost at sea. A ferryman guides strange passengers to a village in ruins. Spirits lurk in a sunken warship to protect the creatures below. And high in a clock tower, two peregrines roost. This is a world both familiar and strange, a landscape beautiful and wild, where history hangs heavy and tragedy has left its mark. Where spectral guardians walk and ancient spirits rule the woods, and where the rivers keep their secrets. Combining a love of the natural world and the gothic, Marc Harris has crafted a collection of short stories and poetry that brings a haunted Britain to life.
