Synopsis

'Tales of Vampires & Werewolves' is a meticulously curated anthology that emerges as a crucial intersection for the exploration of gothic horror and supernatural fiction. Spanning across centuries and continents, the collection showcases a rich tableau of stylistic diversity from macabre historical narratives to eerie folkloristic tales. These pieces collectively trace the evolution of vampiric and lycanthropic lore within the literary panorama, gracefully weaving the palpable tension and dark ambiance that define the genres. The anthology's standout feature is its ability to encapsulate the essence of fear and intrigue through multiple lenses, embracing a spectrum from the primal terror of the unknown to the sophisticated dread of the morally ambiguous. The anthology benefits immensely from the profound backgrounds of its eclectic mix of authors, each contributing uniquely to the overarching theme of supernatural horror. From the Gothic romanticism of Polidori to the adventurous exoticism of Burton, and the psychological horrors penned by Le Fanu, every story is steeped in cultural and historical contexts that enrich the narrative depths. The collection does more than entertain; it serves as a mirror reflecting the societal anxieties and ethical questions of the eras represented, offering a comprehensive look at the literary movements that shaped the genres of horror and supernatural fiction. This anthology is an indispensable resource for those who wish to immerse themselves in the depths of gothic horror and supernatural folklore. It invites readers to traverse eerie landscapes and dark, twisted pathways through time and mythology. 'Tales of Vampires & Werewolves' not only educates but also entertains, providing a broad spectrum of insights and dialogues crafted by pioneering voices in literature. It is essential reading for anyone keen to explore the thematic complexity and artistic breadth of horror through a collection that both honors and transcends its genre boundaries.

    Driving home late one night, Etain Larkin finds a corpse on a pitch-black country road deep in the Irish countryside. She takes the corpse to a remote farmhouse. So begins a night of unspeakable horror that will take her to the very brink of sanity. 
     
     
     
    She will never speak of it again. 
     
     
     
    Two decades later, Betty Fitzpatrick, newly arrived at college in Dublin, has already fallen in love with the drama society, and the beautiful but troubled Ashling Mallen. As their relationship blossoms, Ashling goes to great lengths to keep Betty away from her family, especially her alcoholic mother, Etain. 
     
     
     
    Gradually, Betty learns her lover's terrifying family history, and Ashling's secret obsession. Ashling has become convinced that the horrors inflicted on her family are connected to a seemingly innocent children's TV show. Everyone in Ireland watched this show in their youth, but Ash soon discovers that no one remembers it quite the same way. And only Ashling seems to remember its star: a small black goat puppet who lives in a box and only comes out if you don't behave. They say he's never come out. 
     
     
     
    Almost never. 
     
     
     
    When the door between the known and unknown opens, it can never close again.
