Hellebore's first short story anthology features nine new tales by contemporary masters of the supernatural and the strange: Nina Antonia, Ramsey Campbell, Steve Duffy, Helen Grant, Verity Holloway, Eóin Murphy, Reggie Oliver, Steve Toase, and Ally Wilkes. 

Set in some of the most beguiling locations in The Hellebore Guide to Occult Britain and Northern Ireland,inspired by their history and folklore, this collection sweeps the reader away into a world of old gods, strange rituals, sinister faeries, hill figures, shadowy churches, vast forests, and rugged coastlines—the magical, mystical world of Hellebore.

Following a preface, Tales of Occult Britain includes the following stories…

• Funeral at St Botolph’s, by Reggie Oliver

• Night Exercises, by Verity Holloway

• King of the Island, by Steve Duffy

• The Seeds of Time, by Helen Grant

• More Than a Sign, by Ramsey Campbell

• Pollen, by Steve Toase

• Swain’s Lane, by Nina Antonia

• Lake of Sorrows, by Eóin Murphy

• Wild Edric’s Ride, by Ally Wilkes

The collection concludes with the editor’s notes on the stories’ real-world locations, drawing you further into the folklore by blurring the line between fiction and reality.
