Description
From the legends of King Arthur’s origins embedded in the rocky splendour of Tintagel to the folklore and mysticism of Stonehenge, English Heritage sites are often closely linked to native English myths. Following on from the bestselling ghost story anthology Eight Ghosts, this collection of stories by contemporary authors is inspired by the legends that live on in eight ancient historical sites.
Including an essay by journalist James Kidd on the importance of myth to our landscape and our fiction, and an English Heritage discussion on the ‘truth’ behind the many legends attached to our historical sites by the historian Charles Kightly, These Our Monsters is an evocative collection that brings new voices and fresh creative alchemy to our story-telling heritage.
