The Gathering Dark

An Anthology of Folk Horror

De: Tori Bovalino - editor

Narrado por: Josh Bloomberg, Chanté McCormick

These are the stories that haunt us

A cemetery full of the restless dead. A town so wicked it has already burned twice, with the breath of the third fire looming. A rural, isolated bridge with a terrifying monster waiting for the completion of its summoning ritual. A lake that allows the drowned to return, though they have been changed by the claws of death. These are the shadowed, liminal spaces where the curses and monsters lurk, refusing to be forgotten.

Hauntings, and a variety of horrifying secrets, lurk in the places we once called home. Written by New York Times bestselling, and other critically acclaimed, authors these stories shed a harsh light on the scariest tales we grew up with.

Not a folk horror anthology

These are general horror genre stories. Folk horror is barely detectable. Performances felt unnatural and stilted.
