Giving the Darkness Life

Welsh Gothic Stories

Giving the Darkness Life is a haunting anthology of short fiction which captures the essence of Gothic writing in Wales. Bringing together a varied and exciting mix of established names such as Caradoc Evans, Elizabeth Walter and Arthur Machen and exciting contemporary writers such as Priya Sharma, Mark Blayney and Lucie McKnight Hardy, these stories draw on the folk traditions, superstitions and fears which uniquely speak to the endemic and perpetual jeopardy of the Welsh cultural experience. Inviting readers into weird and uncanny worlds often unsettlingly close to home, this captivating anthology is the perfect read for long winter nights.
