Inside The Wicker Man is a detailed investigation into the making, release, disappearance, rediscovery, and cult afterlife of one of British cinema’s most enduring folk horror films.

The book includes interviews, production history, behind-the-scenes detail, rare stills, and discussion of the film’s roots in Scottish paganism, ritual, and folk belief.
