Damnable Tales: A Folk Horror Anthology Paperback – 31 Mar. 2022

A very well thought out volume with excellent woodcut style illustrations for every story by anthologist Richard Wells. Many of the tales selected were new to me. Of course some of the best of the collection such as 'The Withered Arm' by Thomas Hardy and 'All Hallows' by Walter de la Mare are well known. Nevertheless i'd never heard of 'Pallinghurst Barrow' by Grant Allen, 'The First Sheaf' by H .R. Wakefield, or 'The Lady On The Grey' by John Collier, which are all of a high standard.A very attractive anthology which i strongly recommend.

Great book, I'm really enjoying it. The illustrations really add to the creepiness of the tales.

A readable and well written anthology of folk tales. An entertaining book that I would recommend.

Interesting looking book, really whetted my appetite could not edit to get it, have started and read first story in half an hour, eager to carry on!

good value for money

Beautifully produced and illustrated hardback telling tales of the unexpected, spooky, dark and dire from across the ages. Highly recommended read, especially for the eve of Hallow.

I loved the artwork (very much judged this book by its cover) of this book. It is packed with great stories too.

Good book full of short stories that do not overcome there stay, the first two stories I admit are lackluster but overall theme of folklore rooted in omens are interesting.
