Book overview
Scarborough is not just a place.
It is a crossing point.
Beneath the streets, the harbour, and the narrow line of Bar Street, something remains. Not gone. Not forgotten. Waiting.
In this second collection of interconnected stories, the boundary between past and present begins to break.
A girl at the clock tower hears time move where it should stand still.
A narrow street once known as Mr Coverley’s Gardens reveals the voices of travelling fairs long gone.
A Civil War battle at Scarborough Castle refuses to stay in the past.
Unlawful traders move through Sandside as if the law never changed.
And along Marine Drive, a man steps out of 1909 into a world that should not exist yet.
At the centre of it all is Bar Street. The heart of Scarborough. The place where every trader, traveller, and story has passed through for centuries. Where the line between time is at its thinnest.
Watching it all is a single presence.
Sometimes a man.
Sometimes a crow.
He does not stop what is happening.
He only watches.
Blending real history with supernatural tension, this collection uncovers the hidden layers of Scarborough, from its Viking origins with Thorgils Skarthi, through medieval trade and royal charters, to the modern town that stands on top of it all.
But the line is no longer holding as it once did.
And what comes through next may not return.
