Tales from the Black Meadow - The Audiobook

The audiobook is here...

2 hours and 34 minutes of misty goodness... 

Enjoy!

About this listen

When Professor R. Mullins of the University of York went missing in 1972 on the site of the area known as Black Meadow atop of the North Yorkshire Moors, he left behind him an extensive body of work that provided a great insight into the folklore of this mysterious place.

Writer Chris Lambert has been rooting through Mullins' files for over ten years and now presents this collection of weird and macabre tales.

Marvel at tales such as The Rag and Bone Man, The Meadow Hag, The Fog House, The Land Spheres and The Children of the Black Meadow.

What is the mystery surrounding The Coalman and the Creature? Who or what is The Watcher in the Village? What is the significance of the Shining Apples? Why is it dangerous to watch the Horsemen dance?

These tales will haunt you for a long time to come.

"Can you tell me, maiden fair
Can you tell me if or where
I shall see my child again
Walk upon the fields of men?
Will she ever stumble back
From the meadow all a’black?""

The Black Meadow Archive - Volume 1 - Coming Very Soon


The mist has risen. The cry of the Meadow Hag echoes across the North York Moors, mingling with the hum of a distant but unseen aeroplane. Vast swathes of whispering heather and blackberry are overshadowed by three huge white spheres. All who wander here may find themselves deliciously lost. This is the Black Meadow.

Located within forgotten files hidden inside a locked filing cabinet, in a disused storeroom deep in the cellars of Whitehall, these tales can finally see the light of day. Adapted from the original Brightwater notes, historical records and Roger Mullins’ diaries, these lost tales of the Black Meadow shed light on some of the darkest and strangest phenomena ever recorded.

From Chris Lambert, author of Tales from the Black Meadow and Wyrd Kalendar comes this new collection of haunting tales that walk the boundaries between reality and the unknown. 

The book and album will be released on January 31st 2020.
More details will follow soon.
