this anthology contains various folk horror stories from familiar- and unfamiliar-to-me authors. i don’t know if i’ve read anything specifically marketed as folk horror before this, but this made me interested in learning more about the subgenre. i enjoyed the eerie vibes of each story and look forward to reading more from the individual authors.

A wonderful anthology of folk horror featuring a diverse cast of characters by some excellent writers. I do wish there was some more diversity in plot, but that's just nitpicking a genuinely lovely collection. My favorites:
"Stay" by Erica Waters
"One-Lane Bridge" by Hannah Whitten
"Ghost on the Shore" by Allison Saft
"Third Burn" by Courtney Gould
