I am currently working through the earlier books by
Phil Rickman, standalone novels that occasionally have
a returning character, but are in no way a 'series'.
I lost faith in him when he started writing the Merrily
Watkins series (up to 13 books now!) which I just could
not engage with. He also wrote a couple of other series
which I intend to tackle, but will still avoid the MW series
having read the first three on publication,and not taking
to them! Good basic chills, with folklore and legend woven
into the plots. My kind of escapism!
