DRAGON UNDER THE HILL

by Gordon Honeycombe ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 1, 1973

Ed, and his Norwegian wife Runa, and their seven year-old son Erik -- golden people all -- come to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, the site of the first Vikings, and are soon caught up, in fact carried away, by forces which are pagan and primal and paranormal. In that order -- the old legend of Gudrun (indeed that was Runa's given name); and the constant hostilities (spelled Oedipal in that other language) between Ed and his boy; and the spectral man who keeps appearing and watching with one eye that winks. Superstitions and premonitions abound and so do gods, graves and mounds, runes and ruins, while the story offers its windswept passions and a sense of fate greater than any of them if you're in the mood. It's to be read by the light of a full moon, ominously and pleasurably.
