The Green Man Chronicles Volume V Prof David P Gregg

Some places are just not safe. The multiverse is a ramshackle creation at best and sometimes the fabric of reality is worn thin. The ancient Green Man Inn in England's rural Cheshire is such a place. Long before the Vikings came here there were others who imbued the land with energies some would call occult. Now the Old Powers are waking again and all hell is let loose. The Society for Unexplained Phenomena finds itself very much in demand as a horde of strange visitors seem compelled to tell their even stranger stories.
