About the Book
“Every village has a story it doesn't tell its children. Beasts of England is a field guide to those stories.”
Beasts of England is an event anthology — eleven new short stories from some of the most distinctive voices in British weird, folk and horror fiction. Each writer was given one rule: pick a place you know and search the shadows.
The result is a national bestiary. A book that maps the country by its monsters, from a Cumbrian wood-thing with a hundred mouths to spring-heeled Jack outside a Surrey post office to whatever moves under the still water of Gormire Lake. Together they form a portrait of merry Albion that your tourist board would rather you didn't read.
