Historical Stories

A little historical piece that’s shamelessly historically inaccurate (it would have even Robert E Howard shuddering in his grave coz I sat here with a pile of his books in front of me looking at the style he wrote in and just murdering it altho then again, Howard was pretty good at murdering history himself so maybe he’d just laugh. Wherever he is, I hope he enjoys this and RIP, dude. You were one of the best!). Anyhow, I hope you all enjoy the story - it was a lot of fun to write. / (Reviews)

Halloween 2016
It is AD 1688 and the elders of the Bristol Shire in the Plymouth Colony task Constable Hereward with putting an end to mummery and pagan rites on All Hallows' Eve. This puts him at loggerheads with shrewish Molly O'Shea who holds no love for the English in general and Jonathan Hereward in particular - or so she thinks. A comedy of errors.
