Holley Cornetto did an incredible job pulling together a diverse mix, both in perspective and style, of folk horror. Ritual, lore, and deep terror live in The Old Ways! I enjoyed both volumes tremendously.

Another good selection of folk horror, this time a few stories showing how folk horror can still be found in modern settings

Deadly rituals

Creepy tales of folks following rituals to appease their gods. Some tales are scary. Imagine visiting a town on holiday only to realise that there is no way out.
