The Man in the Moss
The Man in the Moss | Phil Rickman
4 posts | 4 read | 2 to read
The discovery of an Iron Age body preserved in the peat bogs surrounding the village of Bridelow is one of the finds of the centuryThough dead for two millennia, he remains perfectly preserved in black peat. The Man in the Moss is one of the most fascinating finds of the century, but for the isolated Pennine community of Bridelow, his removal is a sinister sign. A danger to the ancient spiritual tradition maintained, curiously, by the Mothers' Union. In the weeks approaching Samhainthe Celtic feast of the deadtragedy strikes again in Bridelow. Scottish folk singer Moira Cairns and American film producer Mungo Macbeth discover their Celtic roots are deeper and darker than they imagined. And, as fundamentalist zealots of both Christian and satanic persuasions challenge an older, gentler faith, the village faces a natural disaster unknown since the reign of Henry VIII.

#Audiopuzzling & getting in some spookytime with this classic Phil Rickman. No one does English ghost stories like Rickman, add in Sean Barrett acting the audio and you have creeptastic! The man found in the moss to the historians is a perfectly preserved “bog body” but to the residents of Bridelow, the village over the moss, he was the sacrificial key that kept their village safe for 100s of years. Removing the body starts a chain of tragedy.

It's 2.30am here and mini construction workers with jack hammers are busy banging away behind my eyeballs, so I'm tossing in the towel at 12hrs in, though I'm hoping to get at least an hour on the audiobook of The Man In The Moss by Phil Rickman, maybe more knowing my insomnia. I love Rickmans books, they're the quintessential English ghost story, very atmospheric. Good luck fellow #24in48 readers!📚
