Stories offering element of thrill or escapism (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lore

'stories' is the definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)

'element of thrill or escapism' is the wordplay.
'element of' indicates a hidden word (I've seen this in other clues).
'LORE' is hidden in the letters of 'thrill or escapism'.

'offering' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for lore that I've seen before include "old-fashioned thong" , "Body of knowledge" , "Mythology" , "Wisdom" , "Folk myths" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
