The English Heretic Collection is a visionary field report based on
fifteen years of deep-vein travel to England's strangest landscapes -
with a host of tragic players. Actors, witches and psychopaths maraud
across a nightmare terrain of ominous stones and abandoned military
bases, transforming creative research into a surreal documentary. Horror
B-movies haunt the East Anglian countryside.
Winston Churchill
is inaugurated into the Ancient Order of the Druids. The suburbs of West
London are home to psychedelic covens. From the red clays of rural
horror to the outer regions of occultism, from the forensic vision of
J.G. Ballard to the cauldron of The White Goddess, if history is
revealed as a paranoid ritual, how do we escape its time traps to wild,
new and imaginative geographies? Part countercultural history of
England, part ghost story, and part magickal psychogeography, The
English Heretic Collection is a darkly comical, urgently lyrical, mental
escape hatch from the hells of our own making.
