GOTHIC & HORROR FICTION AT BICKERING CASTLE

Dearest visitor, 

  

Like many others, I have long been fascinated by Bickering Castle. It sits high on the cliffs, brooding over a picturesque seaside town, suggesting all sorts of unspoken fears.  It has become a repository of dark tales, betrayal, and discomfort. In fact, my own research has recorded appearances of parapsychological apparitions over many hundreds of years.  Bickering on Sea is a lovely traditional seaside resort town, but it’s history of horror and haunting is quite disproportional for its size. Strange things have always happened in Bickering. 

  

Your stories of the darker history of Bickering on Sea, as well as any other place you might know, are warmly encouraged. Please, take a look at the Contributions page to find out how you can send your work in for publication. 

  

Bickering Castle is a12th Century ruin kept in excellent condition by the English Trust and remains a favourite place to visit for tourists to visit. It is also a favourite (excuse the pun) haunt for teenagers on summer evenings. However, if the tales are to be believed, and I for one believe them, one would advise that visits after dark are undertaken with extreme caution. 

  

As a world-renowned authority on Crypto Biology, and avid collector of stories from 'beyond the veil', I can attest that the Gothic and Horror stories of Bickering on Sea are, in the most part, based on truth. It is the reason I chose to retire to the town and conduct tours of the areas rumoured to be most haunted on every week day. In fact, Bickering on Sea is one of the most haunted towns in the British Isles, and I’ve committed the remainder of my life to the study of its legends, stories, and the often-harrowing events of both past and present. 

  

I hope you enjoy your visit and I urge you to remain cautious,
