Huddersfield at War
Huddersfield at War is a new edition of a classic text from a well-known author.
Hybrid
"Stead weaves an intricate world of hierarchy, history and culture with a sinister underbelly, whilst keeping a popular theme fresh and without any of the old cliches. There is the epic, the sublime and the downright terrifying. Think you know vampires and werewolves? Think again." A full moon rises and blood is about to be spilled. Nick Stead, once a regular teenage boy falls prey to the werewolf curse. He begins to change in ways he cannot understand. The first transformation after receiving the bite is only the beginning. From that moment on, death follows in his wake as he seeks to satisfy the insatiable hunger awoken within. But hunter can easily become the hunted, and whilst battling his own lupine instincts, he must also hide his lycanthropy from those who would seek to wipe out his race. A clandestine faction known as the Demon Slayers are closing in on his trail and mean to wipe out his kind once and for all."
Darkness
With much of the world in isolation, support for mental health is more important than ever. Realising this, a number of established like-minded authors formed The Sons of Twisted Fate to turn their skills to creating this collection of short stories to support the mental health charity: Mind.The collection is the result of a unique collaboration by a diverse group of authors, all writers of Speculative fiction (Sci-Fi, Horror and Fantasy) but all very different from one another. Each was challenged to contribute one or more short stories around the theme of Darkness.All profits go to the charity Mind.
Circling the County
A collection of short stories and poems from the Huddersfield Authors' Circle which reflects a variety of topics, genres, interests and writing styles.
'Dialect' and 'Accent' in Industrial West Yorkshire
This volume is concerned with one of the few thorough-going Labovian studies carried out in Britain. Based on a survey of over hundred randomly selected informants from the towns of Bradford, Halifax and Huddersfield, it deals first with the methodology employed, and then sketches some aspects of the ‘traditional’ dialects of the area before describing a large number of variables. Other non-standard features encountered during the survey are described, since these too are part of the changing patterns of speech in West Yorkshire. The final chapter draws a distinction between ‘dialect’ and ‘accent’ which is slightly different from that generally employed, and suggests that while ‘dialect’ features seem to have declined under the pressure of the standard language, ‘accent’ still persists as a social differentiator.
Neither Nowt Nor Summat
I’m going to define the essence of this sprawling place as best I can. I’m going to start here, in this village, and radiate out like a ripple in a pond. I don’t want to go to the obvious places, either; I want to be like a bus driver on my first morning on the job, getting gloriously lost, turning up where I shouldn’t. I’m going to confirm or deny the clich�s, holding them up to see where the light gets in. Yorkshire people are tight. Yorkshire people are arrogant. Yorkshire people eat a Yorkshire pudding before every meal. Yorkshire people solder a t’ before every word they use... If there were such a thing as a professional Yorkshireman, Ian McMillan would be it. He’s regu...
