Hiding Under the Leaves

Hiding Under the Leaves is an anthology of original folk horror short fiction, seeking beyond the boundaries of this fascinating sub-genre. From lonesome moors to dark woods, and the mysterious ocean depths, these stories explore the ghostly and the savage; the monstrous faerie and the beast within; the ritual and the obsession. New stories of unsettlingly old things. Tales of the eerie and uncanny. Dare you discover what is hiding under the leaves…?
