Charles Wilkinson writes with a very classical and subtle touch - the quiet historical writing, the haunting weird tale, shot through with hints of deep strangeness and wildness, elegance and refinement. This is the type of writing that slowly seeps its way into your mind, and that pulls you in slowly until you find yourself deep in the strangeness of it all. Subtle and immersive. The January Estate presents a pair of stories that showcase the author's unique style.
