Steal Me by Helen Grant: A Folk Horror Novella That Reads You Back

Steal Me by Helen Grant: A Folk Horror Novella That Reads You Back

Helen Grant’s Steal Me is a folk horror novella built on fairy-tale bones, set in a small Scottish town where a bookshop sells each customer the one thing they most want to hide. My review digs into the cursed bookshop, the Grimm folklore at its root, and why this Scottish Gothic chiller about desire and temptation belongs on the same shelf as the folk horror revival.
