Pickman Papers

It is 1826, and the august members of the Pickman Club gather for their Annual Dinner. As is usual, members are asked to share any recent strange or singular experiences with the group. And so, dinner done, the assembled gather round the fireplace as each, in turn, narrates their tale.Here are those stories, collated by one who was there, presented for your interest and enjoyment. But be warned! The tales within reveal many disturbing secrets about our world and the things that lay beyond and, in some cases, beneath it.Read then, if you will, of beings of the outer cosmos, and of the peculiar traditions of decaying, seaside towns. Learn of cursed family artefacts and the dangers of experimenting with exotic drugs. And hearken to the chilling reality revealed by the digging of the Thames Tunnel... The door to the Pickman Club is open.....ContentsTHE PICKMANITES THE AMAZING THOTH - Miguel Fliguer THE DARK CLIFFS OF BLACK VEN -Lee Clark Zumpe GOODBYE, CRUEL WORLD - Mike Slater THE HUNTERS OF THE HIGHWAY - Tim Mendees EVENTS IN THE CITY OF NORWICH - Tony Bradbury A SINISTER INTERLUDE - Gavin Chappell THE ACCOUNT OF MALCOM CONRAD, - B Harlan Crawford THE FEASTER FROM AFAR - Glynn Owen Barrass THE SHADOW OVER THE SEPULCHRE - John DeLaughter SHADWELL'S TALE - Russell Smeaton THE FITZWYRM LEGACY - John Houlihan THE TRUTH ABOUT DOTHEBOYS - Shelley de Cruz KING OF TIDES - Robert Poyton BIOGRAPHIES
