Above the World

Wyrd Britain features 'Above the World' by Ramsey Campbell.
Ramsey Campbell's tale of a man revisiting the Lake District mountains where his ex-wife and her new husband had subsequently died was originally broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in November 1984 and read by Sean Barrett (the cover star of The Smiths' 'How Soon is Now?'). 

Evoking the eeriness of a lone walk in the British countryside where history and myth exert an immeasurable weight that can descend and smother without warning, it is a gently compelling story of the powerfully haunting nature of loss.
