Inhaltsangabe

From the sun-seared shores of the Aegean to the misty bogs of ancient England, the dark tendrils of mythological gods and monsters have remained embedded in the minds of those who once believed, and throughout the past two centuries have inspired a haunting sub-genre of uncanny fiction.

Collecting strange tales of legendary Greco-Roman figures, pagan deities of Old Britain and godlings and abominations from the world's pantheons returning to wreak havoc on modern civilization, this new anthology presents a thrilling array of weird fiction touched by the otherworldly and eternal mystique of myth, lore and legends.

Katy Soar's follow-up to one of the most popular series titles, Circles of Stone (2023), this anthology features classic stories from writers such as Algernon Blackwood and Arthur Machen alongside the rare and unusual from the pulps and magazines of the British Library's collections.
