Return of the Ancients: Unruly Tales of the Mythological Weird (61) (Tales of the Weird) - Softcover
Book 6 of 6: Tales of the Weird
Synopsis
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.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A goddess incarnate drives her worshipper to a glorious destruction in 1880s Italy. Archaeologists in 1940s Persia discover a maddening secret in Tiamat's tomb. In 1990s Britain, an avowed sceptic is lured into a bloody initiation to the cult of Mithras.Ancient tales of mythical gods and monsters are embedded deep in the world's cultures, and as weird fiction developed, a haunting sub-genre emerged in which these eternal beings and their power to wreak havoc and enthral mortals remained alive in sacred ruins, cursed relics and the hushed whispers of their followers.Delving into the rich lore of Greek, British, Norse and Egyptian myth and through lost pantheons from Carthage to Mesoamerica, Katy Soar has unearthed fourteen strange stories of beasts and deities tyrannizing the modern world. Offering classics and rare finds by Stephen Baxter, John Wyndham, Flavia Richardson and more, this collection also includes notes on the mythical figures of each tale. An anthology exploring a popular trend of modern publishing, showing writers' enduring fascination with mythology and the way it has interwoven with the strange and uncanny.
