"Chime folk are rare, but she's a Belfast Girl"
A STRANGE UNCERTAIN LIGHT
A Gothic Folklore Tale by G.V. Anderson
- followed at 9pm by THE RAFT -
Based on the concept of ‘chime children’ from British folklore, this Gothic horror takes place on an aging country estate with shades of Rebecca. Two women’s lives, a century apart, intertwine on these Yorkshire moors. One is Anne, who elopes with a man she barely knows in 1938, and the other is Mary, who’s looking for her lost childhood friend in the 1830s.
Respectable people, in her experience, recoiled from lunacy.
