Haunted Voices

Scotland has a stunning tradition of oral storytelling, from the firesides of the nation's legendary storytelling families to the physical and virtual platforms of today's narrative performers. Scotland is also a place with a strange, longstanding affinity with that most chilling of genres: the Gothic.Haunted Voices - a bold and ambitious anthology in both text and audio - showcases some of Scotland's best oral storytellers, from archived stories of past masters to the work of contemporary performers, and their most disturbing tales of terror.Expect monstrous tongue-eaters, shadowy demons, haunted video tapes, wicked priests, strange shapes in the darkness, a retelling of Poe's The Raven... and more!Scotland may be small, but it has many, many voices. So gather round and listen close. This is Haunted Voices: Scotland's great Gothic chorus.Contributors: Fiona Barnett, Paul Bristow, P. D.
