This is the last book in the series of Twisted Tales-collections of short stories inspired by the places the author passed through whilst walking the South West Coast Path of England. As with all the other books in this series, the places are factual, but the people and circumstances they find themselves in are, (fortunately), fictitious. You will journey with the characters from the Axmouth-Lyme Regis Undercliff to the end of the South West Coast Path at South Haven Point, taking in Chesil Bank and the Lagoon Fleet, the Isle of Portland, St, Catherine's Chapel at Holworth, the iconic rock arch of Durdle Door, St. Alban's Head and Winspit quarry. Your journey will end at Studland, having traversed The Jurassic coastline in which most of the tales are set. There are a variety of unusual themes in this volume which are difficult to pin down to one particular genre. The fact of the evolution of life through death is inescapable on the Jurassic coast and so it seems fitting that some have 'life after death' as their main theme. These stories are an exploration of things beyond normal human sense; in-between worlds that we may inhabit before consciousness leaves us. Some of the stories explore the dark side of religion and spiritual beliefs. Yet others are of the genre magical realism where creatures, usually invisible to humankind, make themselves known to those open to the possibility of their existence. At the end of each story there is information and explanations about the origins of the tales being told. Twisted Tales of Dorset will inform and entertain, not only walkers on the path, but those open to exploring the hidden realms of human existence through the landscape.
