Hi, thanks for visiting the site!
A GEOGRAPHY OF HORROR
A project that’s been in my mind, on my screen, and now in print, ever since I realised that M.R. James was barely commemorated in his favourite county, which he used so well in some of his best stories.
A Geography of Horror is a book that brings together two loves: short supernatural fiction, and the landscape, particularly the coastline, of Suffolk. Actually, make that three: my love of designing books too!
With his close matching of text and landscape, Loxley provides an absorbing read for James aficionados and a handy companion for any traveller straying into antique churches or roaming lonely heaths or beaches… FORTEAN TIMES

A mini-masterpiece, and an absolute ‘must’ for anyone who
has read M.R. James. FULLYBOOKED2017.COM
A concise and considered history of both the ghost story as a genre, and a thoughtful critical appraisal of James as a writer… on occasions it reminded me of W.G. Sebald…. R.W., Aldeburgh (via email)
