Mark P Henderson

The Engklimastat Kindle Edition

by Mark Henderson (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

The Engklimastat is Mark Henderson’s second novel and in every way a worthy successor to his critically acclaimed National Cake Day in Ruritania. The Engklimastat (“that which prevents or stops crime or law-breaking”) weaves a fast-paced story of drama, treachery and love around the question posed by the title; what would happen to modern society if crime became impossible? We find out as we follow the malevolent yet oddly sympathetic Hypostates who ruthlessly manipulates the hapless Solomon Threep and the urbane Theresa Greene. They have nothing with which to fight back. Threep might consider himself in love with Greene, but Greene isn’t even aware of his existence; and Hypostates will work hard to see it stays that way. The cards might be Tarot, but Hypostates holds them all. The story will have you at the edge of your seat as it sweeps on to its quite unexpected and yet wholly logical and ultimately satisfying conclusion.

After a career in medicine and university teaching, Mark P. Henderson retired to North Derbyshire in 2002 and started to write fiction, edit manuscripts, teach creative writing, and collect and tell Peak District folktales. His publications, through five different publishing houses, comprise an anthology of short stories (Rope Trick, 2008), a children’s story (Fenella and the Magic Mirror, 2009), a study of the evolution of a local legend (Murders in the Winnats Pass, 2010), a collection of 62 traditional stories (Folktales of the Peak District, 2011), a collection of puns in verse and prose (Cruel and Unusual PunNishments, 2016), a one-act play (Forget it, it’s History, 2017), five novels and a novella (National Cake Day in Ruritania, 2018; The Engklimastat, 2019; Perilaus II, 2021; Con, 2022; Black Harry, 2023; and The Cat of Doom, 2020), and a novelette (The Definitive Biography of St Arborius of Glossopdale and his Thin Dog, 2019). His compilation of folktale films recorded in situ in collaboration with Tim Knebel of “Peak in the Past” and his colleagues (http://www.peakinthepast.co.uk; scroll down to “Folktales”), is available for free download and the set is due for completion in 2023. A second folktale collection, Elusive Tales of the Peak District, was published in September 2023. A collection of medical anecdotes he has edited, Tales from the Medicine Cabinet, was published in April 2024.
