Stories galore, lies circulating (10)

I believe the answer is:

allegories

'stories' is the definition.
(allegory is a kind of story)

'galore lies circulating' is the wordplay.
'circulating' indicates an anagram.
'galore'+'lies'='galorelies'
'galorelies' with letters rearranged gives 'ALLEGORIES'.

(Another definition for allegories that I've seen is " Symbolic narratives".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
