Description

Circles of Stone: Weird Tales of Pagan Sites and Ancient Rites The standing stones, stone circles, dolmens and burial sites of the British Isles continue to enthrall our collective consciousness with their mystery of primeval origins. For writers drawn to the eerie potential of these relics, a new branch of fiction has emerged, exploring the dark forces and rituals of a bygone age. This collection gathers 15 stories of haunted henges, Druidic vengeance and solid rock alive with bloodlust, from authors including Algernon Blackwood, Lisa Tuttle, Arthur Machen and Nigel Kneale. These tales of pagan sites and ancient rites delve into the darker aspects of human experience, where the boundaries between reality and the supernatural are blurred. With each story, the reader is transported to a world of ancient magic and foreboding, where the power of the stones is felt. With its unique blend of fantasy, horror and the supernatural, Circles of Stone is a worthwhile read for those who appreciate the darker side of human imagination.
