Everybody loves a carnival. They are full of strange and exotic things – a collection of fabulous items and creatures that the customer can’t see anywhere else and which offer both amazement and delight. No wonder people are queuing to pay at the show’s tent flap for it’s an exciting and colourful time when the carnival rolls into your locality.
Our Carnival is different. Rather than gathering together creatures and beings of mystery and wonder, we have brought together some of the things that make up the stuff of your worst nightmares. Here are creatures that you hoped you might never meet – you may not know their names but you know they exist These are the beings which haunted your childhood nights and which now linger somewhere in the back of your adult mind, to leap out and terrify you when you least expect it. Here are dreadful beings and monstrosities from all parts of the world – from mysterious China to the Caribbean. Some say that the creatures here are no more than legend or folklore and not of the rational mind, but step inside and see if you don’t think differently. Lift the corner of a sheet which covers an exhibit display and see if you don’t confront your darkest dream. As in the everyday carnival, you will never see anything like this anywhere else for our exhibits are both esoteric and unique For this Carnival, it’s better to stay indoors with door locked and the blinds down when it rolls into town.
So if your nerves can stand it – step this way. Look into the darkest areas that the human mind can offer and prepare to be terrified by the horrors of your own fears. Oh and mind the step!

This playlist was initially created by Jim Peters for his personal listening pleasure but has now become an ever-growing collection of tracks suggested by members of the Folk Horror Revival group. It is now curated by Jim and is becoming more diverse, educating and entertaining with every recommendation from the group.
Folk Horror is a beast without definition – it is a personal understanding and reaction by the participant to a multitude of different creations that all appear touched with tinges of the supernatural, the folkloric and the shadowy side of our past and landscape.
The music of Folk Horror is a very difficult `genre’ to quantify being as it is itself a non-genre. The music that is considered Folk Horror has become so due to its subject matter, its atmospheres, instrumentation and inspiration – inviting individual tracks from Acid Folk, Hauntology, Traditional Folk Music, Soundtracks, Psychedelic, Ambient, Drone, Murder Ballads, Classical and Electronica to join the Folk Horror fold.

The Folk Horror genre is teeming with powerful imagery, stark visions that press into the viewer’s mind, and we want the FHR website to present this imagery as clearly as possible. To accomplish this, in part, we use the site’s header function as a gallery of images taken from across the genre…and we want you to help build this gallery by submitting new images.
We are seeking poetry submissions for a forthcoming book, Folk Horror Revival: Corpse Roads.
Please read the whole post here if wishing to submit – Thank You.
– Please submit only your own work.
– Inclusion in the book is not guaranteed. Only successful contributors will be notified. Do not be offended by an unsuccessful attempt to contribute. We have limited space and will pick the most appropriate poems. This is not a reflection on anybody’s work or ability.
– 100% of all sales profits of the book will be charitably donated to The Wildlife Trusts therefore the work is unpaid (same for us admins too)
