When American journalist Richard O. Jones sets foot on English soil, he discovers an impossible gift: he can see the dead.
What begins as a six-week holiday through Britain with his girlfriend Barbara becomes a pilgrimage through centuries of forgotten lives. From Tudor coachmen to Roman soldiers, from wrongly hanged pirates to bishops erased by time, the restless dead gather around Richard-their first witness in centuries.
Part supernatural travelogue, part Canterbury Tales reimagined, A HAUNTED PICARESQUE explores what the dead need most: not revenge, but simply to be remembered.
