Lore and Disorder

Lore And Disorder is a mutated folklore and folk horror fiction anthology with 13 extraordinary tales by talented writers in the field. A song-stealing changeling, unbound. A pit of devilry. A rural urban legend, come to life. Banshees beneath the city streets. A woman whose wings should never be clipped. A ski resort on reclaimed swampland losing all its power. Rumour beasts paid their dues by wise children. Trees becoming people becoming trees. A deep-watered pond that will never let you leave. An ill-fated beating of the bounds. A birth caul like no other. A wordless visitor from afar who offers only what you need. A storytelling seer on a mission. 13 tales by 13 authors weave the deepest elements of folklore into stories for today in Lore & Disorder, an anthology of mutated folklore and folk horror fiction. All proceeds from the sale of this anthology are being donated to food bank charity Fareshare. Although we might agree the existence of this wonderful charity shouldn’t be necessary, it is. It’s vital, and we want to support that in any way we can. Creatures from dreams and myths don’t vote; they have no known political affiliation and no manifestos. But they come from the people who live with the land and sea, as all 7 billion and more of us do, and so their stories are deeply entwined with what is is to be a moral being. They speak of justice and injustice, love and hate, birth and death and the passages between. Their stories belong to us all - just as a decent meal should - and it is our pleasure to offer these gifts as we hope your offerings will be gifted on to those so much in need of them.
