There's always a copy out there if you're prepared to pay. Cheap ones turn up every now and then too. I got mine about 5 years ago for ยฃ20. No dustjacket, but otherwise it's in great condition. A lovely, lovely book

Every black dog, standing stone, pagan dance & village ritual leads back here.

Reader's Digest "Folklore, Myths & Legends of Britain" (1973) is the keystone of British #folklore & #folkhorror. A book that's become part of the myth it recorded.

An excellent analysis of this classic volume.
โ€œWith more enthusiasm than academic rigour, essays on 2000 years of British folklore are presented with county maps displaying hotspots of historic, folkloric or ghostly shenanigans.โ€
It has faults, but it is inspirational.

Nigel Kneale's Murrain (1975) is a #folkhorror classic about the clash between science & superstition in a remote English village. Is Mrs Clemson a lonely outsider or something more sinister? Ambiguous & unsettling, it remains shocking over 50 years later.
