Overview
A new anthology of strange stories celebrating Wales's rich storytelling tradition, featuring ghost stories, haunting folklore, and modern tales of the macabre and unexplained.
Bringing together some of the greatest names in weird fiction—including Arthur Machen and Algernon Blackwood—alongside influential figures in Welsh literature such as folklorist Marie Trevelyan, Dylan Thomas, and Margiad Evans, this collection showcases the remarkable breadth of Wales's supernatural imagination.
From the peaks of Eryri to dramatic coastlines, mist-filled valleys, and haunted mines, Wales is a land where myth and folklore are woven into the landscape itself. The dragons and sorcerers of the Mabinogion and Arthurian legend paved the way for later tales of the Tylwyth Teg and the pitiless fair folk who haunt Arthur Machen's fictional world.
Expertly curated by horror scholar Aaron Worth, this anthology explores the enduring influence of Wales's Celtic history and local legends through a rich selection of Anglophone Welsh fiction. Featuring folkloric retellings, early twentieth-century weird classics, and chilling stories by writers from both Wales and beyond, it offers a compelling journey into one of Britain's richest supernatural traditions.
