YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW
The Fiends in the Furrows: An Anthology of Folk Horror is a collection of nine short stories that hew both to the earthy traditions and blaze new trails in Folk Horror.
Fans of Folk Horror, as well as those unfamiliar with it, will find horrors galore in these stories. Themes of rural isolation and insularity, paranoia, mindless and monstrous ritual, as well as arcane ceremonies clashing against modern preoccupations run through these stories.
Nosetouch Press is proud to bring The Fiends in the Furrows: An Anthology of Folk Horror to horror enthusiasts everywhere.
Selected for the Preliminary Ballot of the 2018 Bram Stoker Awards.
Includes the stories “The Jaws of Ouroboros,” by Steve Toase and “Back Along the Old Track,” by Sam Hicks—both chosen by Ellen Datlow to be included in The Best Horror of 2018, published by Night Shade Books.

—Mr. G.A. Hattersley, Amazon.com review
“A great book of strange and wonderful short stories that delve into the various veins of folk horror.”
—Matt6550, Amazon.com review
“…All the stories are well written, with huge gobbets of terror and weirdness running through their veins. With nine to choose from, you can sample taste from a literary buffet of varied writers’ voices and styles, as each one elegantly creates their own fictional world with its own boundaries into which you, the reader, can step inside, visit and unlike some of the characters trapped within, you are allowed to leave. This is quite a privilege.” —Alyson Rhodes, on Goodreads.com
