About the Author
Richard Wells is an illustrator and graphic designer. He has provided graphic props for the likes of Poldark, Sherlock, Doctor Who, and the 2020 BBC adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula. Outside of his television work, he makes and sells his own darkly folkloric artwork, often lino cut and hand-printed. His recent work includes a series of prints based on the ghost stories of M.R. James. @Slippery_Jack
Reviews

"Anthologies don't get much better than this masterful assembly of 23 horror shorts, first published between 1872 and 1964...This is a book that demands to be read aloud--perhaps on a darkening winter evening before a roaring fire." -- STARRED review, Publishers Weekly

"Wicked witches, bad fairies, and the restless dead be damned, for those who are looking to fill up their folk horror fiction shelves, Damnable Tales is a must-have." -- Andy Paciorek, Horrified Magazine

"I had to keep pulling myself away from it so I didn't finish it in one sitting . . . An incredible book." -- Annie Kapur, Vocal Media

"An absolute treasure trove for fans of the genre." -- Tom Templar, Astral Noize

"These are damnable tales, selected and beautifully illustrated by Richard Wells. They stalk the moors at night, the deep forests, cornered fields and dusky churchyards, the narrow lanes and old ways of these ancient places, drawing upon the haunted landscapes of folk-horror." -- Kev Harrison, This Is Horror
