From the shorelines, hills and towns of ancient lands, tales of
twisted creatures, sins against nature and pagan revenants have
been passed down from generation to generation. In the nineteenth
and twentieth centuries, folklore from Wales, Scotland, Ireland,
Cornwall, Brittany and the Isle of Man inspired a new strain of
strange short stories, penned by writers of the weird and fantastic
including masters of the form such as Arthur Machen, Edith Wharton
and Robert Aickman. In this volume, Johnny Mains dives into the
archives to unearth a hoard of twenty-one enthralling tales imbued
with elements of Celtic folklore, ranging from the 1820s to the
1980s and including three weird lost gems translated from Gaelic.
Together they conjure uncanny visions of eternal forces, beings and
traditions, resonating with the beguiling essence of this unique
branch of strange fiction.
