Opis

Physicists tell us that the multiverse is a ramshackle creation at best and that in places the fabric of reality is worn thin. The Green Man Inn on the Wirral peninsula is such a place and when gas fracking begins the Old Powers beneath the local Dragon Paths awake from their long sleep. The final straw comes when Professor Lennox encourages the tenant to re-erect the giant megalith, Odin's Pillar, as a tourist attraction. All hell is let loose. The Society for Unexplained Phenomena find themselves living in interesting times. Every strange traveller captured by the Dragon Nexus seems compelled to tell their story: mad scientists, ghosts, the Wicca Woman, aliens of a sort, time travellers, visiting crypto-zoologists, a gaggle of ancient gods, monsters from 'Between' and of course Reg, Death's Taxi Diver. These stories of weird science and the supernatural are in the tradition of Arthur C Clarke's 'Tales from the White Hart' and the ghost stories of M R James ...with a little 'Terry Pratchett' thrown in.
