Black Static
includes a good review
forThe Old Knowledge. Peter Tennant
writes: ". . . a beautifully produced collection of nine stories by
Rosalie Parker, in which themes of ancient knowledge intrud[e] into
the modern world. . . My favourite out of all that’s on offer,
there’s a delightful ambiguity to ‘The Cook’s Story’ . . . The
atmosphere of a country house and the life of wealthy people are
brought to vivid life . . . with a sense of the madness and alienation
that’s bubbling away beneath the surface and just waiting to explode."

simple pure prose style and traditional-seeming supernatural plots, is
