    About this ebook

    When Gareth E. Rees moves to a dilapidated Victorian house in Hastings he begins to piece together an occult puzzle connecting Aleister Crowley, John Logie Baird and the Piltdown Man hoaxer. As freak storms and tidal surges ravage the coast, Rees is beset by memories of his best friend’s tragic death in St Andrews twenty years earlier. Convinced that apocalypse approaches and his past is out to get him, Rees embarks on a journey away from his family, deep into history and to the very edge of the imagination. Tormented by possessed seagulls, mutant eels and unresolved guilt, how much of reality can he trust?

    The Stone Tide is a novel about grief, loss, history and the imagination. It is about how people make the place and the place makes the person. Above all it is about the stories we tell to make sense of the world.

      The last of the three books of his that I read. To me they form a trilogy but I may be missing something like discernment and good taste.

      Set down in Hastings / St Leonards, it chronicles the renovation of an old house, the demolition of his marriage, the tussle between Alister Crowley and John Logie Baird and much, much more.

      By the time I got most of the way through this book I’d really had enough of Gareth E Rees and his woes but I did have some sympathy for woes nonetheless.

      I still admired his vulnerability and his tenacity in getting all this down. He doesn’t come across an an author so much as the kind of bloke you wouldn’t want to get stuck next to at a party whilst also being someone you look forward to catching up with because their life seems interesting if not chaotic. I think I’d like him.

      Would I recommend this or any of his books to anyone else? I think I would if you are kinda out there somewhere or recognise that “drawn to the edge of things” in yourself. Not to everyone’s taste but I found them engaging.
