New A Year In The Country: Lost Transmissions book

ayearinthecountry.co.uk/the-a-year-in-…

Weaving amongst brambled pathways to take in electronica's haunted soundscapes, the rise of the occult in the 1970s, TV's dystopian dreamscapes & hauntology’s parallel worlds.

Ah thanks and a tip of the hat to Bob... (!)

A tip of the Santa hat to Stuart Maconie for playing an AYITC track on the excellent Freak Zone Folk Horror Christmas Special... much fine 'wyrd' seasonal fare can be found amongst the show's spectral airwaves...

The AYITC Hinterlands book is the lead review in the latest issue of Fortean Times-it's a fascinating piece that explores the wyrd, hauntological + re-enchanted cultural landscape. Thanks to Cathi Unsworth, Bob Fischer + David Barrett.
