About the Book Like tales of folklore and fairytale passed on orally over centuries, Folk Horror too is an ever evolving, and shape-shifting entity. Most famous perhaps are the three flagship films 'The Wicker Man', 'Blood on Satan's Claw' and 'The Witchfinder General, but in written form, Folk Horror has a rich history. Writers such as M R James, Arthur Machen, Eleanor Scott and Algernon Blackwood were past masters, invoking fear and foreboding through tropes which have come to embody Folk Horror. Rural settings, a sense of isolation, superstition, paganism, the old gods, the awakening of a buried past and the darkest aspects of nature. Unquiet Slumbers is a collection of seventeen folk horror stories by some of the finest contemporary writers of horror fiction, twelve of these stories* will be published here for the first time.
