To celebrate the release of our 5th book as a small press we have this special podcast edition where we get some insights from the author Gareth Spark. His wonderful short story collection – The Dark Earth of Albion was released on April 23rd. You can get it from us at plasticbrainpress.com or from Amazon as a paperback or ebook.

Gareth talks about his inspirations and his life as a resident of Whitby – a town with a history that does not simply begin with Bram Stoker and ‘that’ book. Gareth takes his inspiration from the ghosts of the town which are much more ancient.

Gareth reads from a couple of the stories in The Dark Earth of Albion; Hunting and Jackdaw. This collection of stories is a thick, muddy slice of Brit Noir tuned to a folk horror frequency.
