Westmorland Tales
(2026)(A book in the Westmorland Tales series)
An omnibus of novels by Katherine Black
THREE STORIES AND ONE SETTING THAT REMEMBERS THEM ALL.
Across the shifting shores and rolling fells of Cumbria and Furness, lives are changed forever in these three unsettling novellas.
In Where Bracken Leads, the Lake District wilderness brings comfort after a horrifying accident leaves Rowan disabled. She escapes to the hills with her dog, but a danger from the past refuses to stay buried.
In The Last Session, familiar streets lead Theo somewhere dark. His sister is reported missing, and he’s drawn into a mystery where memory and familiarity cannot be trusted. Time and place battle each other in a hometown where nothing he knows is recognisable.
And in Under Iron Skies, Barrow-in-Furness stands beneath the shadow of war. Bombs fall, and a young girl learns that some secrets survive far longer than the people who keep them. Three stages of an old lady’s life, told over ninety years, are tangled with memories of the Blitz and her own unimaginable horrors.
But beneath the three very different stories lies the same northern landscape: as beautiful as it is brutal.
Because places have stories too.
Genre: Historical
