The Terror Tales series is an ongoing horror anthology edited by Paul Finch, with each volume dedicated to a particular part of Britain or a specific environment. Starting with Terror Tales of the Lake District in 2011, the series has covered locations including East Anglia, London, Wales, Yorkshire, Cornwall, and the Scottish Highlands. A volume dedicated to ocean horror expands the geographic scope beyond land.
Each anthology collects short fiction from various horror writers, with the requirement that stories connect to the featured location in some way. This regional focus gives the series a distinct identity among horror anthologies. Writers draw on local legends, historical events, and the atmosphere of specific landscapes to craft their stories. The result is horror fiction that feels grounded in real places, which adds to the unsettling effect.
Finch has edited eleven volumes over nearly a decade, building the Terror Tales brand into a recognized name in British horror publishing. The series appeals to readers who enjoy both supernatural fiction and a sense of place, and each volume works as a standalone collection.
