Description
The Ragthorn is a dark and unsettling novella by Robert Holdstock and Garry Kilworth. The authors' collaboration began with a shared love of mythology and a desire to indulge in their favourite pastimes - visiting the city for brandy and Greek kebabs, or the countryside for ale and barbecued steak. As they delved into old documents at the British Museum, they uncovered some frightening discoveries that gradually surfaced like a dark secret from its burial mound. The story centres around a legendary tree, which they both vaguely recalled from tales their grandfathers used to tell them of mystery and myth. This novella is also accompanied by two bonus stories: "The Fabulous Beast" by Garry Kilworth, and "The Charisma Trees" by Robert Holdstock. Published in 2015, The Ragthorn is a World Fantasy Award-winning novella that explores the darker side of mythology and storytelling.
