In This County… features fourteen stories set in Northamptonshire. And really fine stories they are, too. Some are set in the past. How the Gunpowder Plot ended in Ashby St Ledgers, not the Houses of Parliament. How devilry and witchcraft affect one man living in Northampton. A true crime murder in Guilsborough. The Blazing Car Murder in Hardingstone. A dingy Northampton pub becomes the headquarters of widespread criminal activity. Some live in the present day. A young man goes on a life-changing spiritual tour of Northampton. How families in Wellingborough come together and stay together. Some dare to stare into the future. A robot takes over the cuisine at Silverstone. Searching for old myths in Northampton’s dark tunnels. AI runs a local hospital with calamitous results. What driving a car will be like in 25 years’ time. In This County… closes with ghosts and spirits. A time-travelling magician visits 1930s Wellingborough. A grief-stricken girl searches for spiritual reassurance in haunted villages. A lost ghost makes friends with two lovers in Kettering. This is the sixth anthology by Northants Writers’ Ink, a writers’ group from Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, England.
