Of Folk and Fae is a dark fae horror short stories collection that drags ancient things back into the light - feral gods, cunning sprites, wicker beasts, sleeping trolls, and thunderbirds that steal the sun itself.

Perfect for fans of creature horror anthologies, folk horror collections, and monster faerie horror, this book delivers the exact chill you crave: bargains with forest folk that always cost more than you thought, black dogs of war that hunt in packs, and things that slumber beneath birch roots until you disturb them.
