9798186950004: How to Write Folk Horror: Ancient Dread, Landscape, Community, and the Uncanny

Synopsis

Craft the slow, creeping dread of folk horror with this complete guide to the mode. Build landscapes that feel alive and malevolent, communities with coherent (and terrifying) belief systems, and revelations that implicate the reader.

Master isolation, skewed belief, ritual with authenticity, and endings that refuse easy escape. Explore the critique of modernity embedded in the genre and how to render the uncanny through accumulation rather than gore.

For writers seeking atmospheric horror rooted in place, tradition, and the ordinary turned wrong.
