Summary

A missing person brings together an eclectic group of people in this haunting novel of supernatural suspense from the author of The Moon Spun Round.   Psychic researcher Gideon Wakefield dreams of hands folding white paper, and as his origami dreams become more urgent, he discovers that ghosts real and perceived are never far away, and that something powerful is coming for him.   In the wake of Matthew Caxton’s disappearance, Gideon and an unlikely collection of individuals are thrust into a series of events that will force them all to question everything they believe, and everyone they trust. Unseasonal storms rage, violence and sudden death strike, and ancient mysteries, buried long ago, will split the surface with devastating consequences.   “Dreams of Origami is the perfect companion when snuggling indoors on cold winter days and nights. . . . You won’t be able to put it down.” —CoffeeGroup.org

    That moment in time will come. It will be the end of this life and one of three things will happen.  Nothing, Heaven or Hell.   Somehow, for most people, the odds don’t look so good on laying back in Paradise for eternity.  And we may be there alone or with people we never really liked or―or most probably, we don’t really have any coherent idea at all.  Just the fear that the end is nigh. 
 
Our literary friends including Edgar Allan Poe, Leo Tolstoy, Mary Shelley and others probably mean well but their job here is to tackle fear head on and we may well end up not getting the answer we first thought of.

    “British Fantasy Award-winner Lumley pays homage to Robert E. Howard’s Conan in the six fantasy tales of his second Primal Land collection.” —Publishers Weekly 
 
Tarra Khash is a Hrossak, a barbarian from the steppes beyond the River Luhr. A fearless adventurer, Tarra roves Theem-hdra in search of his next fortune, his next drink, and warm, willing females to share his bed. The Hrossak is a most fortunate man, for he has faced more than one god during his travels, and so far escaped unscathed . . .  
 
Seeking to avenge the murder of a beautiful young woman of the half-mystical Suhm-yi, Tarra joins forces with her husband, now the last of his kind. Each worships a moon-god, and together, their faith and Tarra’s weapons wreak a terrible vengeance on those who stole the treasure of the Suhm-yi and destroyed that noble race. 
 
Eager for wealth, Tarra is trapped by a wily old man who has lured him into plumbing the depths of a treasure-filled cavern guarded by golden statues of the Great God Cthulhu. Cthulhu’s treasure is not easily plundered, and Tarra nearly loses his life to the monstrous forces of the Elder God. 
 
Many men have met the lamia Orbiquita, but none have lived to tell of her extraordinary powers of love-making—until Tarra Khash, who treats her as a woman wants to be treated and so earns her forgiveness and his life. Alas, others who assume her to be weakened by love for Tarra Khash are not so lucky!

    We love control.  The ability to predict and organise our lives as we want them. As we desire them.  It’s quite a shock then when Phantoms, Ghouls and Ghosts play their part too.  They don’t play by our rules.  Our welfare is not their concern.  They will do as they wish.  And they have very vivid imaginations —way beyond the dictionary definition – Phantom. Noun. Something apparently seen, heard, or sensed, but having no physical reality. An image that appears only in the mind; an illusion. A model, especially a transparent one, of the human body or of any of its parts.

    The testament to her strength and determination to confront the darkness rather than let it consume her. The shadows of Harrow, once feared and whispered about, have faded, leaving behind only the memory of her family's journey and the scars they bore. Clara understands that, though the path was treacherous, she has emerged whole, with a newfound freedom and a clarity of purpose. 
Looking out at the town and the manor behind her, she takes one last deep breath, feeling the warmth of the sun on her face. She knows that her family's story, though filled with sorrow, has finally found peace. And as she turns to leave Harrow, a faint whisper drifts through the air—her mother's voice, tender and proud: "You are free now, Clara." 
With a soft smile, Clara steps forward, leaving the shadows behind, carrying only the light within her. The legacy of the Ashfords has come full circle, and a new beginning awaits her—a life unburdened, a future no longer shaped by the darkness, but by the strength she discovered within herself.
