Scotland has a stunning tradition of oral storytelling, from the firesides of the nation's legendary storytelling families to the physical and virtual platforms of today's narrative performers. Scotland is also a place with a strange, longstanding affinity with that most chilling of genres: the Gothic.
Haunted Voices – a bold and ambitious anthology in both text and audio – showcases some of Scotland's best oral storytellers, from archived stories of past masters to the work of contemporary performers, and their most disturbing tales of terror.
Expect monstrous tongue-eaters, shadowy demons, haunted video tapes, wicked priests, strange shapes in the darkness, a retelling of Poe's The Raven... and more!
Scotland may be small, but it has many, many voices. So gather round and listen close. This is Haunted Voices: Scotland's great Gothic chorus.
