Tracy Fahey’s Queens of the Crone Age (PS Publishing, 2026) wakes the Cailleach, the Hag of Beara, and threads standalone tales into one long incantation. My review digs into why this feminist folk horror collection, steeped in Irish mythology and the power of older women, is some of the boldest work of her career.
Mattia De Pascali’s The Forbidden Lands is a handmade Italian folk horror fable that understands folklore is not quaint decoration but a system people live and die by. Shot in the Salento and channelling Lucio Fulci’s moral fury, this dark fantasy follows three women who refuse their assigned roles. Now streaming on Prime Video after a festival run spanning three continents.
