Phil Rickman

I am currently working through the earlier books by
Phil Rickman, standalone novels that occasionally have
a returning character, but are in no way a 'series'.

 I read these when they first came out,and loved the

bleakness of his landscapes and the intensity of his

plots!
I lost faith in him when he started writing the Merrily
Watkins series (up to 13 books now!) which I just could
not engage with. He also wrote a couple of other series
which I intend to tackle; I will still avoid the MW series
(having read the first three on publication),and not taking
to them!

Good basic chills, with folklore and legend woven
into the plots.Basic 'horror' fodder if you like, but out of

the ordinary 'run of the mill' predictable horror type books

with obvious twists and turns! These tend to keep even a

jaded reader like me guessing!

My kind of escapism!
