Wild and Uncanny Tales

Marc Harris was born in Cardiff, Wales, in 1962. Marc has previously written four books. South and West Wales: Its Wildlife, People and Places, a book devoted to the natural world in that part of the United Kingdom, was published in 2022. His other books include Wild Tales & Rural Rides, a book of short stories, travel, and nature writing. He has also published poems in a poetry pamphlet Sentience: 14 Poems, and a further book of poetry, Rhythms of Nature. Marc has also written articles and short stories for many magazines, including Evergreen, The Countryman, This England and Explore England. He has always been a lover of horror, gothic tales and ghost stories. He now divides his time between a house in the Vale of Glamorgan and a caravan with stunning views of the sea overlooking the Bristol Channel. He lives with his two rescue cats, which keep him company and entertained, and which he adores.

"Occasional This England contributor Marc Harris has a passion for atmospheric Gothic tales and has put a selection into a new book out this autumn. Along with evocative stories about everything from a young girl waiting for her missing mother to spirits in a sunken warship. Marc has also put some of his poems into this slim and elegant volume" - This England Magazine, 2023."Wild and Uncanny Tales takes that love of nature but uses those animals and places to inspire a series of ghost stories and unsettling tales" - Philip Irwin, Glamorgan Star, 2023."If you want to relive the experience of sitting down with your favorite classic horror fiction - and especially if you are most interested in reliving the visceral experiences - the sights, smells, and lovely dread - of this benighted genre, then I couldn't recommend a better anthology for your pleasure." - Michael G. Kellermeyer, 2023.
