Something ancient stirs beneath the soil... and it's hungry.

Step beyond the veil of time with Dead Men Still Walk, a chilling collection of ten folk horror short stories rooted in forgotten rites, cursed bloodlines, and the dark mythologies of the Old World. These tales are where superstition meets survival, where twisted rural legends still breathe, and where the dead don’t rest — they wait.

From moss-covered graveyards to fog-bound villages, from cursed forests to crumbling stone circles, this anthology will drag you deep into a world of haunting folklore, ancient pacts, and unspoken taboos. Within these pages, you’ll encounter:

• A mute milkman who walks before dawn… and never ages
• A sacrificial tithe long overdue in a village forgotten by God
• The true fate of the missing Roanoke Colony
• A scarecrow that guards more than just the fields
• The whispers of a whipping boy who never truly left

Perfect for fans of atmospheric horror, rural suspense, and the timeless dread of stories passed down around firelight, Dead Men Still Walk taps into the primal fear of things half-remembered — and better left buried.

If you enjoy the creeping unease of The Wicker Man, the psychological terror of M.R. James, or the modern folk nightmares of The Ritual and The Witch, this book belongs on your shelf.

Lock the door. Light a candle. And don’t look outside after dark.

Note: This collection includes several stories previously published in Wicked Whispers, alongside brand new material.
