First of all, an apology. I meant to rec a vid on Drive-in Night which is the last Friday in every month. A vid can be recced then without counting towards the monthly quota. However, the van broke down... (I lost all access to LJ for almost 48 hours without any explanation. I couldn’t even load the general site, let alone log in to my account. The site came back this morning as mysteriously as it disappeared.) So no vid this time, as I still have two stories to rec.

I am celebrating being back on the road. There are still flickering images in the side mirrors and we seem to have taken a diversion to a remote Welsh holiday cottage but that means I’m heading for one of my favourite stopping places.

Author website/archives Palely Loitering. The author runs this website which is a wonderful Pros resource and her own definitive list of fics is listed under her name on the Authors page.
Why this must be read: This is a seriously creepy story, set during a Christmas holiday in Wales but equally suitable for Halloween reading so read it now and keep it for re-reading for either Christmas or Halloween - or both! It all starts so conventionally... The lads take a couple of girls on holiday but the cottage is not as cosy as it seems and the lads have hidden agendas too. There is plenty of folklore research, there are frightening images (and sounds), and there is a rock-solid relationship between the partners underpinning it all. The author is quite brilliant at painting word pictures so expect to see the cottage decked out for Christmas, the village pub, and darker things - all vividly portrayed. Enjoy!
