Folk Horror collects twelve strange tales passed down through rural villages and mountain forests, from a man-eating old locust tree to paper figures that ensnare souls, from sobbing in an ancient well to a nighttime feast at the mountain god's shrine. Each story is rooted in the realities of rural life, tearing a chilling crack through the familiar everyday world. The taboos and customs passed down by word of mouth are far darker and more ancient than you imagine. Before you turn the first page, make sure: does your village also have an old tree that never speaks?
