Description
A small group of industrial archaeologists head into the center of Newfoundland, investigating a rumor of a lost prospecting team of Irish miners in the late Nineteenth century.
They find the remains of a mining operation, and a journal and papers detailing the extent of the miners' activities. But there is something else on the site, something older than the miners, as old as the rock itself.
Soon the archaeologists are coming under assault, from a strange infection that spreads like wildfire through mind and body, one that doctors seem powerless to define let alone control.
The survivors only have one option They must return to the mine, and face what waits for them, down in the deep dark places, where the green meets the black.
Advance Praise
Just as you think things can't get any worse in this story, it does. The ending will send chills down your spine. It did mine. - CAT AFTER DARK
William Meikle at his best, delivering strong, deftly-written prose entwined with a highly imaginative and richly-detailed mythological plot. It digs out the most disturbing elements of local folklore and legend and then uses them as a framework for a powerful, atmospheric and slow-burning piece of horror fiction that is often almost unbearably tense. - The Sci-Fi and Fantasy Reviewer
Once I started reading, I didn't set this book down. Fast-paced and expertly written, I was absorbed in the story world immediately. - Sci-Fi and Scary
With a cast of sympathetic characters and a fantastically original infection, The Green and the Black is another fine addition to the Meikle catalogue. Fans of folk horror, body horror would do well to invest in this fine, fine book. - The Grim Reader
