Description
Celtic Weird Tales of Wicked Folklore and Dark Mythology
Twenty-one enthralling tales of twisted creatures, sins against nature, and pagan revenants have been passed down through generations, drawing on folklore from Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Cornwall, Brittany, and the Isle of Man. This collection, compiled by Johnny Mains, delves into the archives to unearth a hoard of strange and fantastical stories, including three previously untranslated tales in Gaelic.
From the 1820s to the 1980s, these tales conjure uncanny visions of eternal forces, beings, and traditions, evoking the beguiling essence of this unique branch of strange fiction.
