Klappentext

Unleash the dark and delirious with this electrifying anthology of folk horror from some of Britain's most iconic working-class voices: Benjamin Myers, A. K. Blakemore, Natasha Carthew, Salena Godden, Emma Glass, Jenn Ashworth, Tom Benn, Mark Stafford, Daniel Draper and Hollie StarlingA phonograph cylinder that plays on a loop for eternity, casting out ghostly spectres of violence; a centuries-old stew made of dismembered body parts; a bigoted woman working at an ossuary, the bones she watches over her only remaining friends; three siblings who set out to scatter their fathers' ashes, a man none of them could stand; and a hag stone sat in the pocket of a witch. Uncanny and unsettling, wild and wyrd, the ten stories in this collection showcase the best of folk horror. Set in and around the UK, they celebrate Britain's working-class culture and history, and, sharp as a guillotine blade, reveal the real monsters that stalk our green and pleasant land.
