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.
