Folk Horror: Understanding the Genre
This book takes an immersive approach, unpacking folk horror’s literary and cinematic roots while showing how those elements translate into roleplaying. It covers the genre’s defining fears, outsiders trespassing into closed communities, ancient forces demanding reverence, and the slow realization that a place, its people, or even reality itself is twisted by something older than memory. Whether it's a story of rustic witchcraft, a settlement hiding a terrible past, or a landscape that turns against those who walk it, this guide offers the tools to make folk horror feel immediate and personal.
