Welcome to Sorrow Helm...
To the woods and fens that surround it; to the creatures, cults and cruelties that hound it. Welcome to a collection of stories that bring folklore to life, that terrify and delight and that you should never, ever try to read at night.
In Starving Grounds, Jay Alexander collects seven tales of madness and horror inspired by the marshes, fens and folk stories of rural Britain. An antlered abomination tears nightmares from the trees and rends forests apart, aided and worshipped by strange, masked figures... a small community encourages tourists to visit The Bowls before they leave town - even if it means they never can... and on a fateful night in 1577, the Devil sends his dogs...
All this and more in a collection that gathers stories like "Elken", "Fen King (A Duet)" and "Black Dogs in the Dark". Welcome to Sorrow Helm. You'll wish you'd never come...
