Notes:
Whisper Down the Cobbles wasinspired by the author’s creepy and chilling experiences in the charming but haunting cobbled village of Heptonstall, West Yorkshire. In the centre is an ancient, ruined churchyard, where lies David Hartley the infamous, executed, Cragg Vale Coiner. Buried with him are other nefarious members of his family, whose restless spirits haunt the village.When barrister DIANE and pilot MIKE go house hunting in the tiny West Yorkshire village, nestled among the rugged Pennine moors, they are charmed by its ‘Hovis advert’ quality and sense of a land that time forgot. But the house of their dreams soon becomes the house of everyone’s nightmares.Di and Mike meet an array of locals who wouldn’t be out of place in The League of Gentlemen but, as they try to settle into the house, the surreal and the comic give way to the terrifying. Di refuses to believe in anything supernatural – her barrister’s mind deals in evidence and proof; there is no place for the supernatural in her life. But when Di is visited one night by a dark presence and discovers an effigy of herself by a wicca altar in the woods, her certainty begins to quaver.With its gentle northern humour and nail-biting suspense, this unique novel, based on true events, is The Last of The Summer Wine meets Stephen King.
