Weird Trails: Urban Fantasy Walks Digbeth, Birmingham

Join us for a short walk through the urban heart of England’s second city, along dark and shadowy streets of Digbeth, a suburb that had defined the city’s subculture from the dawn of the Anglo-Saxon age to modern times, where immigrants were packed into muddy streets like sardines, and where the first spark of industry emerged until the whole country caught fire with the flames of the Industrial Revolution. Gangs. Ghosts. Giants. Gods. Guns. From Beorma to the Peaky Blinders Digbeth has had them all. Weird Trails provides an eclectic mix of history, urban legend and urban fantasy, drawing on historical and contemporary sources, as well as upon the fertile minds of some of its native authors. One thing is certain. After reading this book, you’ll never look at Birmingham in the same way again.
