Fearsome Fairies: Haunting Tales of the Fae invites you into a world where the enchanting and the eerie collide. This captivating anthology delves into the darker side of fairy folklore, expertly crafted by masters of the macabre, such as Arthur Machen, M R James, and Charlotte Riddell.

Within its pages, discover tales that challenge the notion of fairies as mere whimsical creatures. Instead, this collection reveals the unsettling reality of the fey—beings that possess a haunting presence and an uncanny purpose. As you turn each page, you will encounter:

  • Chilling Narratives: Each story intricately weaves together the threads of ancient lore and spine-tingling encounters.
  • Richly Descriptive Prose: Experience the atmospheric writing that transports you to eerie realms where fairies are both beautiful and terrifying.
  • Historical Context: Learn about the Victorian and Edwardian fascination with fairies, juxtaposed with the more sinister folklore that preceded it.

By revisiting these profound tales, Fearsome Fairies: Haunting Tales of the Fae revitalizes the frightening legacy of fairy folk, ensuring their stories remain a source of both wonder and fear. Whether you are a seasoned fan of gothic literature or a newcomer intrigued by the mystical, this anthology promises to leave you enthralled and contemplative.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
