We Don’t Go Back: A Watchers Guide to Folk Horror  by Howard David Ingham

Trade Paperback – Room 207 Press – Jul 2017 – 435 pages

Secret, strange, dark, impure and dissonant…Enter the haunted landscapes of folk horror, a world of pagan village conspiracies, witch finders, and teenagers awakening to evil; of dark fairy tales, backwoods cults and obsolete technologies. Beginning with the classics Night of the Demon, Witchfinder General, The Wicker Man and Blood on Satan’s Claw, We Don’t Go Back surveys the genre of screen folk horror from across the world. Travelling from Watership Down to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, with every stop in between, We Don’t Go Back is a thoughtful, funny and essential overview of folk horror in TV and cinema.
