Scottish Myths book - Flame Tree Publishing

A significant part of Scottish mythology was brought by settlers arriving from across the Irish Sea, so Scottish mythology largely shares its characters and stories with Irish mythology, from the Ulster Cycle, which features Conchobar mac Nessa, king of Ulster, and the great hero Cúchulainn, to the adventures of Fionn mac Cumhaill. But Scotland also has its own folklore and tales of kings, water spirits, selkies, sea monsters, and fairies, not to mention the Arthurian myths that originate from this land.

From Gaelic heroism “Conall Cra Bhuidhe”, folk tales such as “Kowalski and the Fairies”, and the classic ghost story “The Piper and the Phantom of Bogandoran”, to traditional fairy tales (“The Fox and the Wolf”) and stories of unrequited love, murder, and rescue (“The Legend of Invershin”), this entertaining collection combines ancient myths and fairy tales depicting all kinds of creatures in a unique, kaleidoscopic set of stories.

FLAME TREE 451: From mysteries to crime, from supernatural phenomena to horror and myth, fantasy and science fiction, Flame Tree 451 offers a healthy diet of werewolves and mechanical men, bloodthirsty vampires, wicked villains, mad scientists, secret worlds, lost civilizations, and escapist fantasies. Discover a magazine of stories collected especially for the fantasy reader.
