Weird Woods: Tales From the Haunted Forests of Britain (British Library Tales of the Weird)

Woods play a crucial and recurring role in horror, fantasy, the gothic, and the weird. They are places in which strange things happen, where it is easy to lose your way. Supernatural creatures thrive in the thickets. Trees reach into underworlds of pagan myth and magic. Forests are full of ghosts.

Lining the path through this realm of folklore and fear are 12 stories from across Britain, telling tales of whispering voices and maddening sights from deep in the Yorkshire Dales to the ancient hills of Gwent and the eerie quiet of the forests of Dartmoor.

Immerse yourself in this collection of classic tales celebrating the enduring power of our natural spaces to enthrall and terrorize our senses.
