A Folk Horror Reading List

You’ve braved slashers and ghost stories — now step into something more unsettling. Folk horror draws on eerie folklore, remote landscapes and chilling rituals to create a slow-building sense of dread. If you were captivated by films like Midsommar or The Wicker Man, these haunting reads will pull you deep into worlds where tradition turns terrifying and nothing is quite as it seems.
