There is, however, a rich seam of all things folk horror in fiction old and new and I had great (evil) fun reading the below in the course of my research:

  • Dark Tales by Shirley Jackson
  • Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn
  • The Changeling by Victor Lavalle
  • The Pale Horse by Agatha Christie
  • The Secret History by Donna Tartt
  • Damnable Tales: A Folk Horror Anthology, selected and illustrated by Richard Wells
