Mud Lane.

In 1960’s rural England, the traditional celebration of Guy Fawkes night is approaching and rival groups of children compete to take part. Before long, their comedic exploits get out of hand immersing them in a web of lies, greed and blackmail. Excellent Story telling and a keen eye for detail bring a colorful cast of characters to life in this thoroughly entertaining yarn.

“Granny was known for not just tolerating, but favoring foods which a normal person might find insufferable. One glance at Granny’s shopping bag after a trip round the local market was enough to turn the stomach of a Glasgow sewage plant worker. It would contain several items, all of which were locked into fierce competition for this years “most disgusting substance award.” There would be a misshapen lump of some sort of white rubbery gristly that Granny would call meat. Perhaps some type of decaying marine creature that the local fishmonger was about to throw away and a varied assortment of putrid vegetation and rotten fruit that could only be used to make soup for the residents of a third world prison camp.”

The Devil’s Music

In the winter of 1980, Mike Ratner is conducting a procedural review of Farfield Psychiatric Facility, an unpleasant assignment given his own history of mental problems. He soon peels away the hospital’s thin veneer, to discover that multiple murders have taken place – but who is the murderer? Ratner becomes increasingly isolated and unsure of what is or is not real until eventually he is forced to confront his own worst memories.

30 years later, an investigative writer, John Mars’, and his colleague “Brim” Brimage are conducting research into the unresolved deaths at the now abandoned Mental Hospital. But when sources close to them begin getting killed, our heroes realize there are still forces at work, willing to murder again to protect Farfield’s forgotten secrets. And it looks like John and Brim are the next targets.
