Sinopse

In her enthralling novel, "The Black Ghost of the Highway," Gertrude Linnell weaves a haunting narrative that merges elements of psychological horror with an exploration of folklore and American gothic traditions. Set against the backdrop of a desolate highway, the story follows a series of unsettling events that challenge the line between reality and the supernatural. Linnell employs a lyrical yet sparse writing style, immersing readers in an atmospheric world where tension lurks in every shadow, exemplifying her ability to evoke deep emotional resonance within her characters while drawing on the archetypes of ghost stories that echo through cultural memory. Gertrude Linnell, a contemporary voice in the realms of horror and gothic literature, draws on her own experiences growing up in rural America, where tales of ghostly apparitions were part of a rich oral tradition. Her academic background in folklore and her passion for uncovering the psychological depths of fear inform her writing, making her narratives both personal and universal. "The Black Ghost of the Highway" reflects her desire to capture the essence of unease that permeates everyday life, transforming it into a compelling literary experience. This novel beckons to those who revel in the eerie and thought-provoking. Readers who are intrigued by the intersection of reality and myth will find themselves captivated by Linnell's intricate storytelling and profound insights into the human psyche. Prepare for a journey down a highway where the past collides with the present, and the specter of the unknown lingers just out of sight.

    The wolves of Odin land in Italy, and the tantalising scent of gold is in the air… 
    AD 1043. Having escaped Constantinople with their lives – barely – but not their ship, Halfdan and the wolves of Odin are now mercenaries in the Byzantine army, sailing to Apulia in Italy to help retake territory from the Normans. 
     
    But cracks are beginning to show among the tight-knit wolves. Gunnhild, having forsaken the fate woven for her by the Norns in order to continue her journey with Halfdan, has lost her ability to communicate with the goddess Freyja, and so glimpse the future. And Ketil the Icelander, having watched his ship, the Sea Wolf, stolen from him yet again, grows resentful, as seemingly every decision Halfdan makes leads them further from his original promise of riches and renown. 
     
    But aboard their ship is an official with secret orders for the general in charge of the Italian campaign, Maniakes. The orders will throw everything into chaos, and put a fork in the path of the wolves of Odin. Each will have a choice to make: loyalty to themselves, or to the pack? 
     
    The thrilling third instalment in the Wolves of Odin series, with a gripping hunt across a war-torn Italy. Perfect for fans of Giles Kristian and Bernard Cornwell.

    Arnold Bennett was born in 1867 in Hanley one of the six towns that formed the Potteries that later joined together to become Stoke on Trent; the area in which most of his works are located. For a short time he worked for his solicitor father before realising that to advance his life he would need to become his own man. Moving to London at twenty-one he obtained work as a solicitor’s clerk and gradually moved into a career of journalism. At the turn of the century he turned full time to writing and shortly thereafter in 1903 he moved to Paris and in 1908 published to great acclaim The Old Wives Tale. With this his reputation was set. Clayhanger and The Old Wives Tale are perhaps his greatest and most lauded novels.

    Authors are authors and we are drawn to their works because of their style, their narrative, and their characters and how each part is assembled into the arc of the whole. 
     
    But are we?  Do social conventions, or fashion or other influences decide what we read or what we listen to? 
     
    Its famously said that everyone has a story, everyone should be heard. 
     
    So, when we discover a particular author has a dark past, a difficult character, what do we do?   
     
    Europe was in the last century riven by two catastrophic world wars and a myriad of other local ones.  And like good citizens everywhere our thoughts are stilled by the word ‘Fascist’.  This word which originally meant many strands held together to make a stronger whole is now a one word response to evil and work done in its name. 
     
    In this volume our approach has been to take authors of then great renown, two of whom won the Nobel Prize, and compile a work from each which is seen in a literary context rather than in the heinous shadow of their political and social beliefs.   
     
    We are taught that authors write of their own experiences, but is that really true?  Can an author be separated from their nihilistic approach to politics and actually be a good writer who adds to our knowledge and experience rather than taint us with their reprehensible beliefs on their fellow man. 
     
    Its an ongoing argument.  Perhaps both sides are right.  Perhaps both sides are wrong.
