  To have logic, to reason things out, to have a sense of what is and isn’t and what can and can’t is one of the traits we identify with being human. 
   
  Sad to say that sometimes there are some amongst us who lose touch with this function, are unable to bring order and control to their world.  That is not only a tragedy for themselves but can also have horrific consequences on those around them. 
   
  Our wordsmiths in this volume, including Leo Tolstoy,  Anatole France, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Barry Pain and others explore and exploit their stories and characters in a quest to share and shape our view and experience of what it may be like inside the Mind of Madness.

  <p?WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY M. JOHN HARRISON
  (The Sunken Land Begins to Rise Again, winner of the Goldsmith Prize 2020)
  Moving into an old and decaying house, Martin Swann discovers a box of video cassettes in the garden shed. One of them is a bootleg copy of a morbid and disturbing film by obscure French director, Jean Rien.
  The discovery leads Martin on a search for the director's other films, and for a way to understand Rien's filmography, drawing him away from his home and his lover into a shadowy realm of secrets, rituals and creeping decay. An encounter with a crazed film journalist in Gravesend leads to drug-fuelled visions in Paris – and finally to the Mexican desert where a grim revelation awaits.
  The Witnesses Are Gone is a first-hand account of a journey into the darkest parts of the underworld – a look behind the screen on which our collective nightmares play.
