Where the Roots Remember

Folk Horror Stories from the Forgotten Places

A Collection of Folk Horror Novellas

What if the land remembers? What if it never forgives?

Step into five isolated villages where ancient rituals still hold sway, grief grows like roots beneath the soil, and forgetting can be fatal.

From forest pacts and weatherbound sacrifices to mirrored souls and orchards that bloom with teeth, The Root Remembers gathers five original folk horror tales that peel back the pastoral to reveal the rot beneath.

Inside, you’ll find:

• The Root That Weeps – A grieving woman inherits a cabin with a sealed root cellar... and a tree that feeds on loss.

• The Candle House – A nurse is summoned to a silent manor where the dead light their own memorials—and one candle still waits to burn.

• The Shellkeeper’s Oath – In a coastal village where the sea stores souls in shells, memory is more dangerous than the tide.

• The Orchard Teeth – A town with the sweetest apples must bury its lies beneath the trees—one tooth at a time.

• The Mirrorwood Pact – No one dies in Brayfen. They walk into the forest and return... changed. Lenna was never meant to remember. Now she does.

The earth is old.
The roots are deep.
And the stories, they remember.
