Behind The Stumps by Russell Kirk

And we're back in New England, home of weird stories (see our Bewitched by Edith Wharton and various by H P Lovecraft). Kirk was the great American conservative thinker and he spent time in Scotland. A number of his stories are set in England or Scotland but this one's right back home. It's even got a Twin Peaks vibe (minus the comedy) and a definite folk horror twist even before there was such a thing as folk horror. ( It was just horror then) see what you think.

Kirk's stories in book form are hard to come by these days. There's only one showing on Amazon, which is his novel The Old House of Fear. If you'd like it, this is my affiliate link which helps me with no cost to you.
