Dark Forest Longing: Tales of Folk Horror & Nature Mysticism
Although today largely unknown in the English-speaking world, few authors in history can match the potent and uncanny darkness conjured by the early German romanticist Johann Ludwig Tieck (1773-1853). Drawing from extensive familiarity with the folklore record, Tieck guides readers to unexpected places, presenting a deeply mystical picture of nature alongside unfathomable horrors that may well stick with you for the rest of your days. This edition features historic translations of Tieck’s masterful “The Runenberg”, “The Elves”, and “Blond Eckbert” presented alongside art by Tieck’s legendary contemporary Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840), a new introduction from folklorist Ceallaigh S. MacCath-Moran (Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador), and a variety of new supplementary items.
