EXCLUSIVE BUNDLE

A most accursed

hardback.

“Every village has a story it doesn't tell its children. Beasts of England is a field guide to those stories.”

Beasts of England is an event anthology — eleven new short stories from some of the most distinctive voices in British weird, folk and horror fiction. Each writer was given one rule: pick a place you know and search the shadows.

The result is a national bestiary. A book that maps the country by its monsters, from a Cumbrian wood-thing with a hundred mouths to spring-heeled Jack outside a Surrey post office to whatever moves under the still water of Gormire Lake. Together they form a portrait of merry Albion that your tourist board would rather you didn't read.

This first edition of the Beasts of England Bestiary is a coveted tome to be locked away in your personal library where it can gather dust and an impending sense of dread. Cover-red sprayed edges reserved solely for the first-printing. Foil-stamped knotwork on the spine exclusive to first-printing. Eleven full-page plates by Michael Lacey, threaded through the stories.

03 - A4 bestiary map poster

04 - Tote bag

05 - Bookmark

06 - Monster sticker pack
