From the sun-seared shores of the Aegean to the misty bogs of ancient England, the dark tendrils of mythological gods and monsters have remained embedded in the minds of those who once believed, and throughout the past two centuries have inspired a haunting sub-genre of uncanny fiction.
Collecting up strange tales of legendary Greco-Roman figures, pagan deities of Old Britain and godlings and abominations from the world's pantheons returning to wreak havoc on modern civilization, this new anthology presents a thrilling array of weird fiction touched by the otherworldly and eternal mystique of myth, lore and legends.
Katy Soar is a Senior Lecturer in Classical Archaeology at the University of Winchester whose research explores the resonance of archaeology in culture. She co-edited (with Dr. Amara Thornton) the Handheld Press anthology Strange Relics (2022) and edited Circles of Stone for the British Library Tales of the Weird.
