The new Hellebore welcomes in the winter with an issue that is in thrall to the power of myths and stories.
Inside - Elizabeth Dearnley looks at how the imaginations of '80s filmmakers and musicians were inspired by dark fantasy, John Callow reflects on the lasting appeal of Robin Hood, Nick Freeman examines how the ballad of Tam Lin has endured over the centuries, and John Reppion looks at the themes of reality, magic, destiny and madness found in Susanna Clarke's Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell.
Elsewhere - a look at the powerful, story-rich work of Alan Garner, the powerful and enduring protest that emerges from folkloresque myth making, and some of the giants, sorcerers and devils that are seen as the legendary architects of our landscape.
HELLEBORE is a collection of writings and essays devoted to folk horror and the themes that inspire it: folklore, myth, history, archaeology, psycho-geography, and the occult.
