Black Meadow Tale inspires piece of art... Goblin Fruit Studios and The Shining Apples

Exciting news today.

The Black Meadow tale and tune "The Shining Apples" has inspired a sculpture by Carisa Swenson of Goblin Fruit Studios. It is on display at "The Zealot's Elixir" exhibition at Modern Eden Gallery in San Francisco!
"She called out in a small shrill voice if anyone would like to buy her shining apples."

Check out some fantastic detailed images of the sculpture from Carisa Swenson here.

Tales from the Black Meadow - Adventures on BBC6 Music - Freakzone

Freaky Tracks to Hear Before You Die (BBC 6 Music) - BBC Playlister

On Sunday 30th November The Yoked Man was played on BBC6 Music. This track, created by The Soulless Party, is one of over twenty pieces of music created for the Black Meadow project.

Stuart Maconie said: "The Yoked Man from Tales from the Black Meadow... It purports to be some discovered notebooks from a man called R. Mullins from the University of York who went missing in 1972 on the North Yorkshire Moors but I fancy that is a conceit to produce a bit of hauntology!"

We don't know what he means...
