4.0
A wonderful anthology of folk-horror stories set in the British Isles. We have a mix of occult, supernatural, ancient evils, local myths and legends, and more. Overall this was a strong collection and there were only a couple of stories that didn't really work for me.
My favourites were:
The Pier at Ardentinny by Catriona Ward
In My Father's House by Andrew Michael Hurley
Land of Many Seasons by Tim Lebbon
Dark Shells by Aliya Whiteley
The Headland of Black Rock by Alison Littlewood
The Devil in the Details by Ramsey Campbell
Swimming With Horses by Angela Readman
As an ex-pat this made me quite homesick for the UK, despite all of the creepy and horrible things taking place in these stories!
I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
