Gibson "Revival"Fans of Folk Horror, as well as those unfamiliar with it, will find horrors galore in these stories. Themes of rural isolation and insularity, paranoia, mindless and monstrous ritual, as well as arcane ceremonies clashing against modern preoccupations run through these stories. All the stories are well written, with huge gobbets of terror and weirdness running through their veins.
With nine to choose from, you can sample taste from a literary buffet of varied writers' voices and styles, as each one elegantly creates its own fictional world with its own boundaries into which you, the reader, can step inside, visit and unlike some of the characters trapped within, you are allowed to leave. This is quite a privilege." -Alyson Rhodes, author - One of the Top 15 Anthologies of 2018-Emily, Book - Happy08
