James, offering a fresh perspective on the intersection of reality and the fantastical.
Official synopsis Publisher
This is the second book in the Green Man Chronicles series. If you like the supernatural and modern science this is for you. The multiverse is now recognised to be both real and a bit ramshackle in construction. There really are an infinity of worlds just next door; some identical to ours and some very different. These 20 short stories explore some of the implications.Of course in some places reality is worn thin and ‘things’ can leak between universes. The Green Man Inn (which is real) on the Wirral peninsula in northern England is such a place …especially now that gas fracking has started. The Old Powers are stirring from their long sleep and magic is leaking back into our world. The Society for Unexplained Phenomena find themselves very much in demand. A horde of strange visitors seem compelled to tell their stories at the Green Man including: mad scientists, the Wicca Woman, misplaced ancient gods, aliens of sorts, the ghosts of Special Constable Charles Dickens and Isambard Kingdom Brunel, geriatric vampires, Nathaniel Hawthorne in Liverpool, geomancers, homicidal Santas, American cryptozoologists, monsters leaking from ‘Between’, a pacifist terrorist and Reg…Death’s taxi driver. These stories are in the tradition of Arthur C Clarke’s Tales from the White Hart and the ghost stories of M R James with a little Terry Pratchett thrown in. England will never seem the same again. You have been warned.
