Description
A Year In The Country: Wyrd Explorations collects writing from the first decade of the A Year In The Country project, which has explored and documented the interconnected rise of interest in the wyrd, eerie and re-enchanted landscape, folk horror, the further reaches of folk music and the parallel worlds of hauntology.
The book includes a selection of revised and at times extended writing from the first five A Year In The Country non-fiction books and the first ten years of posts on the projectÕs website alongside previously unpublished work from the A Year In The Country archives.
It reflects a personal journey through hidden pathways in the cultural undergrowth, a Òwandering through spectral fieldsÓ that across 52 chapters includes writing on amongst many others the films, television series, directors, writers, books, musicians, record labels etc:
