Bog People

The working class understand horror, often sharing its postcode. They know about crossed knives on the tea-table, and hagstones, and the people in the puddles. Bog People is a thrilling cache of unearthed diamonds, black, brilliant and beautifully cut, none of them rough, born of the lower strata where the pressures are greater. Astonishing and long overdue, you really need to read this

ALAN MOORE

A masterful collection that captures the raw, unsettling essence of folk horror and its working-class roots

MAXINE PEAKE

This collection is everything folk tales and folk horror should be. It's angry, disturbing, and shines a light on the obvious problems in society that mainstream media continues to ignore

TABITHA STANMORE, author of Cunning Folk

Folk horror at its most feral and furious. Just as it should be

CHARLIE COOPER

Deeply unsettling and totally radical it tells of the horrors of our age in complex and haunting ways that will stay with the reader long into the future

LALLY MACBETH, author of The Lost Folk

A brilliant and eclectic collection of tales that illuminated all the darkest corners of my mind. I’m thrilled Bog People has lead me to find a selection of my new favourite writers

KIRI PRITCHARD-MCLEAN

An absolute treat - a giddy tumble into wild and diverse British folk-horror. This feels like the countryside of my childhood, before every thatched cottage had a Mercedes in the driveway. It's raw, earthy (in every sense of the word) and darkly fun - you'll come away with dirt under your nails and woodlice in your hair
