Beskrivning

Between 1965 and 1975, Elizabeth Walter published five collections of supernatural stories. But whilst the names of her contemporaries such as Robert Aickman are widely recognised, Walter is relatively unknown to modern readers. Nothing is as it seems in these haunting tales which draw on Walter’s Welsh heritage and the rich inspiration of South Wales and the border country. Mixing folklore, history, and ancient traditions, Let a Sleeping Witch Lie is the perfect way to rediscover Elizabeth Walter’s chillingly remarkable talent.
