The Silting

The Silting is a contemporary Gothic Novel written by artist and journalist Dennis J. Mealor, PhD (Creative Writing/Lit Studies). It is set in a fictitious English seaside village called Cove. The Silting's narrative is predominantly driven by the psychotic interior monologue of the narrator Johnathan Wolms. Despite Johnathan's cynical and nihilistic demeanour, he becomes obsessed with the apparent divine presence of an ancient stone artefact that speaks to him from its housing in an old windmill.
