The Gathering Dark: An Anthology of Folk Horror [Spotlight]

“An incredibly strong anthology, with every story adding another layer of fear and intensely atmospheric writing.” (The Nerd Daily)

A cemetery full of the restless dead. A town so wicked it has already burned twice, with the breath of the third fire looming. A rural, isolated bridge with a terrifying monster waiting for the completion of its summoning ritual. A lake that allows the drowned to return, though they have been changed by the claws of death. These are the shadowed, liminal spaces where the curses and monsters lurk, refusing to be forgotten.

Hauntings, and a variety of horrifying secrets, lurk in the places we once called home. Written by New York Times bestselling, and other critically acclaimed, authors these stories shed a harsh light on the scariest tales we grew up with.

“A must-add for every horror lover’s shelf.” (The Nerd Daily)

“A gloriously dark and varied compilation of folk horror tales from fantastic writers…this anthology is a perfect start to spooky season. Featuring stories of hauntings, monsters, and horrifying familial secrets, there’s something for everyone here.” (Paste Magazine)
