Tales of Occult Britain and Northern Ireland

HELLEBORE's first short story anthology features nine new tales by contemporary masters of the supernatural and the strange: Nina Antonia, Ramsey Campbell, Steve Duffy, Helen Grant, Verity Holloway, Eóin Murphy, Reggie Oliver, Steve Toase and Ally Wilkes. 

Set in some of the most beguiling locations in The Hellebore Guide to Occult Britain and Northern Ireland, inspired by their history and folklore, this collection sweeps the reader away into a world of old gods, strange rituals, sinister faeries, hill figures, shadowy churches, vast forests and rugged coastlines—the magical, mystical world of HELLEBORE.
