![]() ![]() Local fortune teller and witch, cackling Mother Polruan accosts her – fortelling of her *doom* in no uncertain terms – echoes of a village CURSED reverberating across the desolute moors ! Claire is *rescued* by Willian Neville – thriller writer, car expert and all round handsome chap and together their twin fates spiral intextricably towards the slavering jaws of the Morgow !!… Meanwhile his visiting neice Claire breaks down on a lonely stretch of the Bodmin moor ( in the best Hammer Horrible tradition). However the dank and fetid undersea caverns hold something far more deadly than tin, as Happy finds out to his peril… Owning a crumbling old mansion Tybronbucca ( meaning House on Goblin Hill) – Happy likes nothing better than to pack a thermos and sandwiches and explore the disused Tom Wheal tin mine he owns, adjoining the property, in the hopes of finding a new vein of Malachite that will re-energise the town’s economy. The idyllic Cornish village of Bosbradoe is suitably populated by eccentrics – none more so than 72 year old retired mining expert Henry Archibold Penrose, known as *Happy* to the locals. ![]() ![]() Peter Tremayne – The Morgow Rises (Sphere, 1982) ![]()
