Produktbeschreibung

'A masterful collection' MAXINE PEAKE
'Astonishing and long overdue, you really need to read this' ALAN MOORE
'An absolute treat' ADAM S. LESLIE

Unleash the dark and delirious with this electrifying anthology of folk horror from some of Britain's most iconic working-class voices: A.K. Blakemore, Daniel Draper, Emma Glass, Mark Colbourne, Mark Stafford, Hollie Starling, Jenn Ashworth, Natasha Carthew, Salena Godden and Tom Benn.

A phonograph cylinder that plays on a loop for eternity, casting out ghostly spectres of violence; a centuries-old stew made of severed body parts; a bigoted woman working at an ossuary, the bones she watches over her only remaining friends; three siblings who set out to scatter their father's ashes, a man none of them could stand; and a hag stone sitting in the pocket of a witch.

Uncanny and unsettling, wild and wyrd, the ten stories in this collection showcase the best of folk horror. Set in and across England, they celebrate working-class culture and history, and, sharp as a guillotine blade, reveal the real monsters that stalk our green and pleasant land.

'Deeply unsettling and totally radical' LALLY MACBETH, author of The Lost Folk
'Everything folk tales and folk horror should be' TABITHA STANMORE, author of Cunning Folk
'Feral and furious' CHARLIE COOPER
