The Pines Close gang as of Juncture One.

Valewood Tales is the story of a not-so-normal mountain town in the Lake District, and the strange things that happen within it.

Local nobody Andrew Wheatley moves up north to Valewood to inherit his deceased grandfather's house, and discovers that his seemingly normal granddad Douglas Wheatley may not have been all he seemed - and that Valewood's reputation as the paranormal capital of the UK may well be more than just tourist fodder, and the role he has to play in keeping the town safe from the various weird and bizarre phenomena that haunt it is quite possibly more important than he expected.


Valewood Tales provides examples of:

  • Establishing Character Moment: Andrew greets Valewood by falling out of the bus that brought him there and then losing the keys to the house he's supposed to be moving into. May is introduced to the audience by hurling her alarm clock across the room and destroying it.
  • Four-Fingered Hands: Most of the characters so far have these.
  • Myth Arc: The mystery of Douglas Wheatley introduced in the opening few pages looks to be one of these.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Andrew pulls one after the creepy voice in Burns Realty tells him he's beyond help.
  • Series Goal: Finding out what happened to Douglas looks to be Andrew's.
  • Town with a Dark Secret: Valewood, if any of the surrounding material is to go by.
  • Weirdness Censor: Valewood's status as the paranormal capital of the UK seems to be just tourist fodder, but we know there's something more to it.
