Books by James Stoorie

All Hail 'The Stag Nation'! In the beginning, there was our 'Book Of Joy'. A diary of our earliest deeds, our first impressions of the dark. But somewhere in the distant past this precious gift was stolen from us, substituted by cruel sleight of hand. Quick! Throw away that thing you have been reading! It is nothing but a 'Book Of Sorrow' and, believe me, you don't want to read any more of those! Come my friend, follow me, and we will recover your 'Book Of Joy'. Yes, that first chapter missing from all of our stories, a journal of the vague years. Let me be your corpse candle, your marsh light, your hand of glory through the darkness... James Stoorie takes you on a pagan's process through a folk horror heritage that we all share yet, until now, have forgotten.

Thirteen terrifying tales of the supernatural. Things you dare not even imagine. Modernised updates of the traditional ghost story, the vampire, the phantom hitch-hiker, the imaginary friend, the witches coven. An uncanny landscape of haunted high rises, haunted hospitals, haunted holiday cabins, haunted show homes, haunted music festivals, haunted bird sanctuaries. Think Arthur Machen and Algernon Blackwood in the 21st Century! An animated film of lead story 'Heirlooms' is currently in production (a tale of school children who inadvertently summon up Peg Prowler, a predatory Victorian ghost)
