New Release: Stagdale Part 3 and Soundtrack EP by Frances Castle
Frances Castle presents the third part of her graphic novel, Stagdale, along with a new soundtrack EP from her musical alter ego, The Hardy Tree. Both the book and soundtrack are available now from the Clay Pipe Greedbag shop and The Hardy Tree Bandcamp.
Stagdale Part 3, drawn and written by Frances Castle, the founder of record label Clay Pipe Music, continues the story of Kathy and Max—two strangers, a generation apart, who both unexpectedly find themselves living in the isolated village of Stagdale.
When twelve-year-old Kathy discovers a wartime diary hidden behind the skirting board of the old cottage she and her mother are renting, she is instantly captivated. As she delves into its pages, she begins to suspect that the tale of the missing Stag Jewel - told to her by her new friend Joe - isn't quite what it seems. Could the diary hold the key to unravelling a mystery that's been buried for 30 years?
A special edition of the book will include a Flexi Disc featuring the title track "September 1975." There will also be a limited reissue of the original Flexi Disc editions from Books 1 & 2. Additionally, Book 2 has been reprinted with a matt cover, so all three books in the series now have a more cohesive look.
