While the undisputed heyday of folk horror was Britain in the 1960s
and 1970s, the genre has not only a rich cinematic and literary
prehistory, but directors and novelists around the world have also
been reinventing folk horror for the contemporary moment. This
study sets out to rethink the assumptions that have guided critical
writing on the genre in the face of such expansions, with chapters
exploring a range of subjects from the fiction of E. F. Benson to
Scooby-Doo, video games, and community engagement with the
Lancashire witches. In looking beyond Britain, the essays collected
here extend folk horror’s geographic terrain to map new
conceptualisations of the genre now seen emerging from Italy,
Ukraine, Thailand, Mexico and the Appalachian region of the US.
