About the Book

The untamed power of nature and the wild abounds in these tales of folk horror, a brooding mix of new and classic storytelling.

Whisperings in the gloom of the trees, primeval mysteries, terrifying omens unfolding… within all of us lurks innate fear and subconscious respect for ancient rites. Following on from our successful Beyond & Within title Folk Horror, we now present, for our Gothic Fantasy series, more stories rooted in the dark side of the land and nature, exploring ritual and isolation, and encompassing global mythologies and folktales. Packed with classic stories of horror and folklore alongside new stories selected from a hugely popular submissions round, this latest anthology is not one to be missed.
