"The protagonist of Ben Tweddell’s atmospheric 1930s-set novella, The Domain of the Pale Queen, is a too-curious archeologist, very much in the mould of one of
M. R. James’s haunted characters. As Edwin Carrington attempts to uncover a nightmare from the past among the eerie waterlands of the Somerset Levels, ancient sorceries come chillingly to the surface..."
Edward Parnell
Author of Ghostland
Those who love Folk Horror and the work of M R James and Arthur Machen will find themselves in a familiar world of scholarly reverie and the obsessive persuit of arcane knowledge when turning the pages of Ben Tweddell's new novella
'The Domain of the Pale Queen'
A hypnotic and fatalistic vein pulses through Tweddell’s exquisitely crafted and sublime prose, where the door to an ancient world is opened, the veil is lifted and a devine and terrible force is awakened.
