Amongst other "far off lands" of films and music etc it wanders to the Winter of Discontent witchcraft battles of the 1979 television adaptation of M.R. James' Casting the Runes and the timeslip folk horror Cold War dread of Hammer House of Mystery and Suspense's And The Wall Came Tumbling Down...
Takes a trip into the surreal dreamscape pop fantasia of Nancy Sinatra's Movin' With Nancy Television special and spends a night in the triple bill genre melding wonderworld of the Scala cinema...
Visits the ghosts of city streets via The Sandbaggers, The Gentle Touch and Adam Scovell's Local Haunts and opens the time capsules of faded history in The Likely Lads and the modernist's photozines...
Steps into the shadows of the 1980s secret state cycle of British film and television via Menace Unseen and Bird of Prey and crosses over the thresholds of Kate Bush and Suzanne Cianni's boundary breaking worlds...
Unearths the hidden histories of The Profumo Affair, Mitch Glazer's Magic city and Edward Norton's Motherless Brooklyn and explores the frontier-like autonomous zones of Walter Hill's The Driver, Ryan Andrew Hooper's The Toll and John Michael McDonagh's The Guard...
Enters the endless "wilderness of mirrors" espionage games of Andrew Williams' Witchfinder and conjures the lost visions of the future that are buried inside Karyn Kusama's Aeon Flux and Robert Longo and William Gibson's Johnny Mnemonic.
The book reflects and records a wide ranging personal cultural journey through the byways, highways, darkened alleys and edgelands of culture and variously visits, revisits and at times brings to the surface the sometimes subterranean themes and culture that have inspired and underpin A Year In The Country's journeys amongst the wyrd spectral tales of culture.
