My current work-in-progress novel is a piece of speculative folk horror fiction called Bucknell Prior Stones. It is set in an isolated rural landscape that is beholden to the ancient beliefs of the villagers who resist incoming people, particularly focusing on one powerful family whose farm contains the fallen standing circle stones of the past. The chapters move between decades and go centuries back and forward in time, showing the old customs around paganism and sacrifice that refuse to be forgotten. Folklore around farming, forests, and witchcraft forms the centre of the novel. As a practice-based researcher focusing on using symbolist poetics and Jungian psychology, I aimed to create a dream-like set of symbols based on my folklore research that repeatedly surfaces in the villagers' minds and everyday experiences, to express how the land remembers its past despite the encroaching Christian beliefs, including the control and silencing of women, that are built on top of it. I will discuss my methodology and read extracts from the first draft.
