From the shores, hills, and towns of ancient lands, tales of twisted creatures, sins against nature, and pagan revenants have been passed down from generation to generation. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, folklore from Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Cornwall, Brittany, and the Isle of Man inspired a new strain of strange short stories, penned by writers of the weird and fantastic, including masters of the form such as Arthur Machen, Edith Wharton, and Robert Aickman. In this volume, Johnny Mains dives into the archives to unearth a hoard of twenty-one enthralling tales imbued with elements of Celtic folklore, ranging from the 1820s to the 1980s, and including three weird lost gems translated from Gaelic. Together, they conjure uncanny visions of eternal forces, beings, and traditions, resonating with the beguiling essence of this unique branch of strange fiction.
