From cartoonist Meredith McClaren (co-creator of the acclaimed series Black Cloak) comes a punishing and poignant original graphic novel about the monsters that lurk both in the darkness beyond—and within us all . . .Let it be said that dying is hard. Nineteen-year-old Ashley Moore found this out the hard way. All Ashley wanted was to keep her head down and work hard until she could escape the small town where she felt she was stagnating. But after waking up one night covered in blood—and irrevocably dead—Ashley finds her foolproof plan for getting out has gone up in smoke, and something within her has changed. Without a heartbeat and with a disturbing craving for fresh—preferably bloody—meat, Ashley finds herself privy to a world that exists just beneath our own: a world of ghouls and monsters and things that go bump-in-the-night. Despite her desire to be left alone—and to not think about the night of her death at all—Ashley is slowly drawn into the realm of the unusual, getting advice from ancient vampires, dodging angry pack leaders, and becoming the reluctant big sister to werewolves Motley and Harrison. As she does, she finds it increasingly difficult to put away the parts of herself she wishes to ignore—namely, what happened that fateful night she stopped breathing. The truth, it turns out, can’t stay buried forever. In this visceral story about the effects of trauma and anxiety, dying is indeed hard. But getting on with it? That can be worse.

Folk horror has become a true contemporary cultural phenomenon. But what is this peculiar genre, and what makes it so horrific? This collection considers the special importance that British cinema has to folk horror, and vice versa. It explores such staples of the genre as Witchfinder General (1968), Blood on Satan's Claw (1971) and The Wicker Man (1973), but also looks beyond them, presenting studies of the sci-fi horror Doomwatch (1972), the documentary Requiem for a Village (1975) and the works of Ken Russell and Ben Wheatley, alongside many other folk horror films. The collection provides new ways of understanding the uncanny settings and recurring themes that make folk horror so scary and so culturally resonant. Across various chapters on different topics, folk horror appears as a cinematic vision of the remnants of history, unearthed amid the destabilising uncertainties of a de-industrialising, post-imperial Britain. Folk horror on film: Return of the British repressed provides a compelling account of the genre and a provocative perspective on what makes folk horror unique: its monsters are neither the ghouls of folklore nor the psycho-killers of the slasher; they are the British themselves and their own national past.
