Pseudopod 521: The Moraineby
Simon Bestwick.
“The Moraine” was first printed in

‘Simon Bestwick is brilliant,’ the Guardian says; he thinks they’re probably wrong, but being British, also thinks it would be very impolite to disagree with them. Originally from Manchester, he now lives on the Wirral with his long-suffering wife, the author Cate Gardner. By now he’s responsible for five novels, four short story collections, and a chapbook, Angels Of The Silences. A new collection is in the works.
He has two new novels out in December:
The Feast Of All Souls, a supernatural/urban fantasy novel from Solaris Books, and
Devil’s Highway, the second book in the post-apocalyptic Black Road quartet. It and the first book, Hell’s Ditch, are both available from
Snowbooks.

““Hello?” I called into the mist. “Hello?”
“Anybody down there?” Diane called.
“Hello?” A voice called back.
“Thank god for that,” Diane whispered.
We started along the rattling path, into the mist. “Hello?” called the voice. “Hello?””
