Is there much of such?
I'm a huge fan of horror fiction, and I have a deep and abiding interest in our Good Neighbor Folk. Thus, I'd be interested to read horror stories, scary fairy tales as it were, concerning the Folk and their interactions with mere humankind; tales with some background in the legends, and modern treatments of the subject -- from a horror perspective, I mean, not urban romance fantasy or Sookie Stackhouse stories and the like. As well, I'm interested in writings of more recent vintage than Arthur Machen and Algernon Blackwood.
Ringstones, by "Sarban", might be one example; it can surely be interpreted that way. So can Clive Barker's Rawhead Rex, for a certain value of faery!
There was an intense, sad short story called "Black Annie" in an anthology of gay fantasy and horror stories I read several years ago, which I remember well (unfortunately, unlike the author's name!).
Any suggestions? Recommendations? "Don't read this piece of crap!" warnings? Thanks in advance for your attention, energy and time.
