  • Royal Mysteries of the Tudor Period

    02
    The Tudor period is familiar to British public in reading and viewing in books, TV series and film – list is endless, from Shakespeare and Fletcher in the 1600s to Hilary Mantel et al, and involving internationally famous authors and actors. This is backdrop to the ‘Royal Mysteries’ which reflect aspects of enduring modern interest. These include royal family drama, sex, scandal, violence, tragedy, murder both judicial and from personal rivalry. The period is dominated and overshadowed by the gigantic and brutal figure of Henry VIII , the ‘British Stalin’, with his six wives with two got rid of by judicial murder. Royal Mysteries occur throughout the period. The battle of Bosworth Field in 1485 did not end the Wars of the Roses, Henry VII’s claim was disputed by Pretenders, and following the unresolved disappearance of the ‘Princes in the Tower’, Lambert Simnel and Perkin Warbeck with considerable and allegedly Yorkist support. Then came Anne Boleyn, who to many, including modern writers and top historians, a religious reformer, idealist and gifted woman, ruthlessly put down and maligned and executed by the brutal Henry VIII and victim of manipulating figures like Cromwell in a royal court full of ‘spin’ and ‘fake news’. And the stories Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of Scots are similarly packed with mystery and scandal. Elizabeth’s possible suitor and potential husband was Robert Dudley and his ailing wife died in suspicious circumstances. And the long saga of Elizabeth and Mary involved Mary’s tangled affairs involving murder and conspiracy to replace Elizabeth on the English throne.

    A View From A Window

    The author of this book lived for many years at –
    No.1 Pavilion Mansions,
    Hartington Road,
    Buxton.
    Which has an interesting view through a large, stone, bay window on the side elevation of the substantial Victorian property. A view that encompasses the passage of Buxton’s history through the ages.
    To the right of the window a neglected lane passes by. Beneath the moss and debris, a cobbled road once built by Roman soldiers (AD43-410) runs down from higher to lower Buxton. Which brought to mind horse drawn chariots, rolling down the hill towards the towns health giving springs.
    Directly ahead lies The Old Hall Hotel (1573). Which was built to house Mary Queen of Scots. Who will have walked out of the Hall onto the dusty road. Absorbing the scenery and deeply breathing in the clean mountain air. Seeking to find some solace for her persecuted soul.
    Behind The Hall, the Devonshire Dome (1789) presents itself as a magnificent example of Victorian engineering and ingenuity. Once famed for being the largest unsupported dome in the world. Which indicates the quality of architects once drawn to the town.
    On the far side of the Dome The Palace Hotel (1863) stands wide. A place where Victorian gentry would have walked and talked and paraded their finery.
    Yonder, the caressing hills frame the view. Tree covered hills that have been there forever which turn from green, to orange, to the bright white of snow in the winter.
    The Romans, the Tudors, and the Victorians all sought out Buxton. Which caused the author to spend her evenings looking out of the window, that captures 2,000 years of Buxton history. Wondering what else the people from bygone days, did with their time whilst in Buxton.

  • You Like It Darker: Stephen King

    ‘You like it darker? Fine, so do I’, writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life – both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to read. King writes to feel ‘the exhilaration of leaving ordinary day-to-day life behind’, and in You Like it Darker, readers will feel that exhilaration too, again and again.

    ‘Two Talented Bastids’ explores the long-hidden secret of how the eponymous gentlemen got their skills. In ‘Danny Coughlin’s Bad Dream’, a brief and unprecedented psychic flash upends dozens of lives, Danny’s most catastrophically. In ‘Rattlesnakes’, a sequel to Cujo, a grieving widower travels to Florida for respite and instead receives an unexpected inheritance – with major strings attached. In ‘The Dreamers’, a taciturn Vietnam vet answers a job ad and learns that there are some corners of the universe best left unexplored. ‘The Answer Man’ asks if prescience is good luck or bad and reminds us that a life marked by unbearable tragedy can still be meaningful.

    King’s ability to surprise, amaze, and bring us both terror and solace remains unsurpassed. Each of these stories holds its own thrills, joys, and mysteries; each feels iconic. You like it darker? You got it.

    ‘As classic as King’s novels are, his shorter fiction has been just as gripping over the years’ – USA Today

  • Don’t Look Back: A haunting mystery perfect for the long, dark nights (Fenton House)

    08
    Adam’s eyes swelled in horror at the sight that confronted him. Henry was standing with his back against the front door, pale and rigid, his left hand pressed to his neck. Blood was seeping between his fingers, running down his wrist and dripping from his elbow onto the back of Jacob’s head. Jacob was facedown on the tiled floor, arms outstretched to either side with blood pooling around his wrists. There was a faintly metallic butcher’s shop smell in the air…

    After the tragic death of their eleven-year-old son, Adam and Ella are fighting to keep their family from falling apart. Then comes an opportunity that seems too good to be true. They win a competition to live for free in a breathtakingly beautiful mansion on the Cornish Lizard Peninsula. There’s just one catch – the house is supposedly haunted.

    Mystery has always swirled around Fenton House. In 1920 the house’s original owner, reclusive industrialist Walter Lewarne, hanged himself from its highest turret. In 1996, the then inhabitants, George Trehearne, his wife Sofia and their young daughter Heloise disappeared without a trace. Neither mystery was ever solved.

    Adam is not the type to believe in ghosts. As far as he’s concerned, ghosts are simply memories. Everywhere he looks in their cramped London home he sees his dead son. Despite misgivings, the chance to start afresh is too tempting to pass up. Adam, Ella and their surviving son Henry move into Fenton House. At first, the change of scenery gives them all a new lease of life. But as the house starts to reveal its secrets, they come to suspect that they may not be alone after all…

    What Amazon and Goodreads readers are saying about Ben Cheetham’s books

  • The Chinese Orange Mystery: 0 (An American Mystery Classic)

    08

    A topsy-turvy crime scene sends a detective on a puzzling quest for the truth.

    The offices of foreign literature publisher and renowned stamp collector Donald Kirk are often host to strange activities, but the most recent occurrence­ the murder of an unknown caller, found dead in an empty waiting room is unlike any that has come before. Nobody, it seems, entered or exited the room, and yet the crime scene clearly has been manipulated, leaving everything in the room turned backwards and upside down. Stuck through the back of the corpse’s shirt are two long spears and a tangerine is missing from the fruit bowl. Enter amateur sleuth Ellery Queen, who arrives just in time to witness the discovery of the body, only to be immediately drawn into a complex case in which no clue is too minor or too glaring to warrant careful consideration.

    Reprinted for the first time in over thirty years, The Chinese Orange Mystery is revered to this day for its challenging conceit and inventive solution. The book is a “fair-play” mystery in which readers have all the clues needed to solve the crime. In 1981, the novel was selected as one of the top ten locked room mysteries of all time by a panel of mystery-world luminaries that included Julian Symons, Edward D. Hoch, Howard Haycraft, and Otto Penzler.

    ‘An absolute triumph’ – Sunday Express

    ‘Gloriously bonkers . . . a hugely entertaining slice of Gothic fantasy ‘ – Andrew Taylor, bestselling author of The Shadows of London

    An outstanding historical novel for fans of The Essex Serpent and Piranesi, Ray Celestin’s Palace of Shadows can lay claim to having at its centre the most Gothic House of them all . . .

    “I’m not asking you to build something impossible. I’m asking you to build something that contains all the strangeness and confusion that you can muster.”

    Samuel Etherstone, a penniless artist, is adrift in London. His disturbing art is shunned by patrons and critics alike, his friend Oscar Wilde is now an exile living in Paris, and a personal tragedy has taken its toll. So when he is contacted by a mysterious heiress, Mrs Chesterfield, and asked to work on a commission for the house she is building on the desolate Smugglers’ Coast of North Yorkshire, he accepts the offer.

    Staying overnight in the local village pub, Samuel is warned not to spend too much time there. He is told of the fate of the house’s original architect, Francisco Varano, chilling tales of folk driven mad by the house, of it being built on haunted land where young girls have vanished, their ghosts now calling others to their deaths…

    It is only on arrival at the Chesterfield house that he learns the sinister details of Varano’s disappearance. And yet its owner keeps adding wing upon wing, and no one will tell him the reason behind her chilling obsession . . . But as Samuel delves deeper into the mysteries that swirl about the house, the nature of the project becomes terrifyingly clear.

    The house looked right, felt right to Dr Louis Creed.

    Rambling, old, unsmart and comfortable. A place where the family could settle; the children grow and play and explore. The rolling hills and meadows of Maine seemed a world away from the fume-choked dangers of Chicago.

    Only the occasional big truck out on the two-lane highway, grinding up through the gears, hammering down the long gradients, growled out an intrusive threat.

    But behind the house and far away from the road: that was safe. Just a carefully cleared path up into the woods where generations of local children have processed with the solemn innocence of the young, taking with them their dear departed pets for burial.

    A sad place maybe, but safe. Surely a safe place. Not a place to seep into your dreams, to wake you, sweating with fear and foreboding.
