Description
Ancient evil lingers beneath the earth, in the woodland surrounding forgotten paths, and in the remnants of ancient traditions and practices. This collection of stories by masters of horror explores the darker side of folklore, where the supernatural is linked to objects or places "left behind". From the works of Arthur Machen, Algernon Blackwood, H. P. Lovecraft, and M. R. James, to newer exponents of the craft, this anthology brings together powerful and unsettling tales that have been a staple of horror fiction for decades. The stories within are rooted in the notion of the supernatural being connected to the land, waiting to ensnare the unwary traveler. With contributions from a diverse range of authors, this volume is a must-have for fans of folk horror and those who enjoy the darker side of storytelling.
