A blend of fiction and folklore set in Devon's haunted landscape.
This work investigates the psychological impact of landscape through a blend of personal narrative and historical inquiry. Whitehead uses his background in technology and archaeology to examine how Devon’s environment shapes human experience. The story connects ancient Dumnonii traditions with modern anxieties about climate and politics. It suggests that the land itself holds memories and forces that defy moral interpretation. The approach combines factual observation with fictional elements to create a cohesive whole. Readers encounter a world where the boundary between past and present is porous. The narrative does not offer easy answers but rather presents a challenging view of human vulnerability. It invites consideration of how we relate to the natural world when faced with its indifference.
Published in 2020 by Triarchy Press Ltd, this work sits within the tradition of weird fiction and psychogeography. It draws on Devon’s specific history and landscape to explore contemporary ecological and political anxieties through a literary lens.
