Tales from the Black Meadow book and CD launch

A CD of haunting music tied in with a new book of Supernatural short stories is being published in September.

It is written by local author Chris Lambert and illustrated by local artist Nigel Wilson.This book explores the legendary “lost” village of Black Meadow. A mysterious place on the North Yorkshire Moors that is described as the “root of strange occurrences, nightmares and disappearances”.

The launch will be an evening of drama, music, film, readings and refreshments.There will be a performance of “The Devil and the Yoked Man” an adaptation of one of the short stories, a lecture about the mystery surrounding Black Meadow as well as a new film adaptation of “Curse of the Black Meadow”.

Do not go into the mist. Do not dance with the horsemen. Do not listen to the cry of the Rag and Bone Man.
Chris Lambert began investigating Black Meadow in collaboration with Kev Oyston, a composer from Yorkshire. Kev Oyston created an album of music for a “lost” Radio 4 Documentary “Curse of the Black Meadow” that Chris helped to resurrect. Each track on the CD inspired Chris to write a poem or story.
It is a very exciting project that spans counties and shows the creative opportunities that the internet provides.

Tales from the Black Meadow is available to buy from Amazon and bookshops in Reading and Yorkshire.
The album is available to buy from Amazon.
