Making a rare appearance on here to ask for thoughts on an embroidery from 1668. Do you have any idea what Old Testament story/stories these panels represent? Previously labeled as Abraham and Isaac but I’m not convinced. I think they may be the same figures in both. Thank you for your ideas!

Killer description of Hell in this!
I am after your top children's (/family) British Folk Horror / Folk Gothic / Just Bloody Weird and Unsettling for Kids.
Preferably books ir audio drama over film/tv series. E.g. Dark Is Rising, The Owl Service etc
