Interference — Stephen Walton

A mystery, lightly laced with humor, and with paranormal overtones that are misinterpreted until the end. The story is contemporary but would fall loosely into the fantasy genre due to the revelations of later chapters. After a miserable year following the loss of his wife, Tom Kerr has just started running again, hoping it will prove a better way of dealing with stress than drinking. This will bring him into contact with a living myth, who could be the answer to both his prayers and a fifty-year-old mystery that has just reared its ugly head amidst strange occurrences in the local woods.
