Where the records end,
the stories begin.

A literary archive

The Pendry Archive is the home of Griffin Pendry’s novels and his interest in forgotten histories, mythology and the stories that survive at the edges of the written record.

The accounts

The novels are catalogued as accounts, beginning with The Silent Summer, Book One of The Broken Island. Books are available through Amazon.

The investigations

Essays explore historical questions, manuscripts and inherited stories. Each entry identifies its approach: evidence, interpretation or original fiction. Sources accompany researched investigations.

The fragments

Short pieces of original fiction live in the margins of the archive. They are an invitation to imagine what might lie beyond the next page.

The keeper

The keeper’s name is Griffin Pendry. The stories are his introduction.
