A Grim Almanac of South Yorkshire, Paperback / softback Book

A Grim Almanac of South Yorkshire Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

A Grim Almanac of South Yorkshire is a collection of stories from the county’s past, some bizarre, some fascinating, some macabre, but all equally absorbing.

Revealed here are the dark corners of the county, where witches, body snatchers, highwaymen and murderers, in whatever guise, have stalked.

Accompanying this cast of gruesome characters are old superstitions, omens, strange beliefs and long-forgotten remedies for all manner of ailments.

Within the Almanac’s pages we visit the dark side, plumb the depths of past despair and peer over the rim of that bottomless chasm where demons lurk, with only a candle’s light to see by... metaphorically speaking of course. You are invited to take that journey, if you are brave enough, and meet some of the people that populated the past... while author Kevin Turton holds the candle at arm’s length.
