The work delves into the rich tapestry of myths and legends from Lancashire, exploring themes of the supernatural, including encounters with fairies, goblins, and other enigmatic creatures. Through its various narratives, it aims to capture the wild and eerie essence of the Lancashire countryside and its folklore. At the start of the book, the introduction provides context about the region's Celtic and Scandinavian myths, laying the groundwork for the enchanted tales to follow. The opening tale, "The Skriker," introduces a character named Adam, who finds himself haunted by a terrifying apparition while walking home at night. The chilling atmosphere is established as he navigates his fear amidst a snow-covered landscape, encountering the mysterious creature known as the Skriker, which symbolizes death and dread. Adam's harrowing experience serves as a foreshadowing of the eerie and fantastical tales that will unfold throughout the collection.
