Ancient Ruins, stone circles, and eerie rituals…These concepts of dark mystery have been the centerpiece in horror fiction for countless eras and are now being reborn in recent years with the name Folk Horror. Arthur Machen, Algernon Blackwood, H. P. Lovecraft, and M. R. James, are authors that produced powerful works of horror in this field which are now being represented in a beautiful cacophony within this book. Michael Marshall Smith, who is an atmospheric photographer, displays imagery alongside these stories, making The Mammoth Book of Folk Horror one that terrifically stimulates the mental and visual senses of our mind.
