"Skirting around the edge of horror, this unsettling short story collection offers a variety of weirdly wonderful reads. "
If you’re captivated by the earthy edge of horror and supernatural then step this way and prepare to enter a collection of beautifully written and unsettling stories. Award-winning author Dan Coxon writes with a subtle pen, he is prepared to leave your imagination hanging in the shadows which I loved.
As strange worlds were built, history revisited, and the surreal and supernatural swirled into horror, these short stories took hold and refused to leave. This collection is actually difficult to pack into a pigeon hole, folk horror is a reoccurring theme, but the stories don’t all dwell there.
They wander, almost gently around the edge of horror, they whisper and cajole, haunting and hunting as they settle into your thoughts. Brian Evenson has written the foreword, he obviously appreciates the intense pull of these subtle yet incredibly effective stories. Beautifully bizarre and darkly atmospheric, I’ve chosen Come Sing for the Harrowing as a Liz Pick of the Month.
From British and World Fantasy award-winning writer and editor Dan Coxon, Come Sing for the Harrowing is an uncanny folk horror collection for fans of John Langan and Robert Aickman.
