Buy Damnable Tales: A Folk Horror Anthology by Wells, Richard, Le Fanu, Sheridan, Nesbit, Edith, Stevenson, Robert Louis online on desertcart.ae at best prices. ✓ Fast and free shipping ✓ free returns ✓ cash on delivery available on eligible purchase. Review: 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. Review: firstly, this is NOT an anthology of "folk horror" (whatever you take that to mean); instead this is a rehash of the usual out of copyright 19th century ghost stories available in 90% of other anthologies, and which i'm sure you've already read dozens of times (do you really need M R James' "The Ash Tree", Edith Nesbit's "Man-size in Marble", or R L Stevenson's "Thrawn Janet" AGAIN??! The illustrations are very childish too. All in all, seeing as I got this on offer for 5 euro I will keep it, but it's not worth any more than that frankly. (Consider that the standard price of the Wordsworth editions of supernatural stories are less than a fiver - I bought another copy of the E F Benson's horror stories to replace my lost old one - under a fiver for going on 700 pages.)

Von wegen! Da schlummern alte dämonische Kräfte, die ihren Ursprung weit vor dem Christentum haben, da mögen die Dorfbewohner keine Fremdlinge und "Dazugereisten". Kurz: das Land ist "fremdes Territorium". Warum das so ist, erklären die Geschichten dieser Sammlung. Am besten nach Einbruch der Dunkelheit mit einem Glas Portwein oder rauchigem Single Malt zu genießen!

This collection is really about the tone, ambience, and varied dialects of the British isles. The stories are simple enough, but the colorful language carries the suspense and really paints a scene. Great jumping off point for finding other authors that you may like in the genre.

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!
