Something strange is happening on British shores.Britain has a long history of folk tales, ghost stories and other uncanny fictions, and these literary ley lines are still shimmering beneath the surface of this green and pleasant land. Every few generations this strangeness crawls out from the dark places of the British imagination, seeping into our art and culture. We are living through such a time.This Dreaming Isle is an anthology of new horror stories and weird fiction with a distinctly British flavour. It collects together fifteen brand new horrifying or unsettling stories that draw upon the landscape and history of the British Isles for their inspiration. Some explore the realms of myth and legend, others are firmly rooted in the present, engaging with the country's forgotten spaces.Featuring new and exclusive stories from:Ramsey Campbell, multi-award winning author of over 40 novelsAndrew Michael Hurley, author of The Loney and Devil's DayCatriona Ward, author of Rawblood and Little EveRobert Shearman, World Fantasy Award, British Fantasy Award and Shirley Jackson Award winning author of four collections Jenn Ashworth, author of Fell, Cold Light and moreGareth E.
