## Caption

We all have folk tales that have been passed down from generation to generation. It’s a part of many cultures and helps to connect us to our ancestors. But what happens when a dark little twist is added to these tales?

You get one of horror’s most popular subgenres, that’s what. Intertwining folklore with fear and foreboding, folk horror authors are always finding new ways to terrorize us—and we can’t get enough!

We compiled a list of ten folk horror books, rife with elements such as witchcraft, human sacrifice, and murder mystery. Whatever type of horror reader you are, our list has something to chill everyone to the bone.
