May Day Eve, Walpurgis Night and Midsummer Eve or the Summer Solstice. Tales of these fated days and nights, and their riotous rituals and feasts, have rung down the centuries, and yet in today's world those that observe their ancient ways are few.

Setting out on a mission to re-weird this lost stretch of the ritual year, Johnny Mains returns with a collection of tales of the bizarre, the beastly and the brutal to welcome the summer and raise the cry: Wyrd is Icumen in!

Johnny Mains is an author and award-winning editor renowned for recovering lost stories from the archives. Among the many volumes he has edited are two collections of lost women's ghost stories for Black Shuck Books (A Suggestion of Ghosts and An Obscurity of Ghosts), the collection Bound in Blood for Titan, and two collections of strange fiction for the British Library: Celtic Weird and Scotland the Strange.
