- A mild village vicar on Romney Marsh, sermons by day, and something much darker riding out under the moon; the fun is watching Thorndike keep both faces spinning. Pulpy and gleefully grim in places, so come for atmosphere and menace, not tidy comfort.
- You’ll like the way Stephens makes Irish myth feel mischievous and alive, especially in Fionn’s boyhood, where wisdom arrives through the Salmon of Knowledge rather than solemn instruction. The stories are strange, lyrical, and occasionally abrupt, with gods, warriors, and ordinary people all sharing the same unruly world.
- If you liked Uncle Silas but want something slower and stranger, this delivers: Alice hidden away at damp, lonely Carwell Grange, and a blind Dutchwoman whose scenes are genuinely frightening. It rambles a bit in the middle, but the dread when it lands is real.
