The Black Meadow Archive - Volume 1


Book Description

Tales from the Black Meadow - Declassified The mist has risen. The cry of the Meadow Hag echoes across the North York Moors, mingling with the hum of a distant but unseen aeroplane. Vast swathes of whispering heather and blackberry are overshadowed by three huge white spheres. All who wander here may find themselves deliciously lost. This is the Black Meadow. Located within forgotten files hidden inside a locked filing cabinet, in a disused storeroom deep in the cellars of Whitehall, these tales can finally see the light of day.
