Book Description

Weird Fiction Quarterly does Folk Horror! Once again we bring you the finest in our now-signature 500 word flash fiction and exquisite poetry contributions, featuring over 60 writers from all around the globe and a dubious burlap sackful of color illustrations by our own Sarah Walker! Visit a strange, quaint village where the yearly festival is Everything. Call on the cunning woman or the witch doctor for a cure that might cost your very soul. Go deep into the woods in search of what may be a monster—or some forgotten god that Must be Appeased. Find a famous cryptid or two in (very) unexpected places! However you think of Folk Horror, hold onto your garland of flowers, because, as with every issue of Weird Fiction Quarterly, there is no possible way to prepare yourself for what could pop up in these pages. Portals open and close; trees are not what they seem. Tales from different countries and cultures intermingle. From the wilds you hear the reel of bewitching pipes. Whether or not you follow them, folks, things around these parts are about to get really weird!
