The Anchored Dead by Terry Farland

The Anchored Dead by Terry Farland

A gale breaks at three in the morning and leaves a silence heavy in the lungs. By dawn, something has drifted through the gap at Robin Hood's Bay — no lights, no hail, just a shape in the fog. A gothic novel of the North Sea coast, its photographers, its fishermen, and the dead who refuse to stay anchored.

About Terry Farland

Terry Farland writes gothic fiction set on the North Sea coast. His work draws on the photography, fishing and folklore of Yorkshire's coastal villages, and the uneasy line between what the camera records and what the sea returns. The Anchored Dead is his first novel for Tales From A Harrogate Caravan.
