Fabulous Folklore with Icy

This month on Fabulous Folklore Presents, I'm joined by Candice Bailey and Gavin Lees, the co-editors of the Crossroads folk horror zine. Candice also writes for the folk horror blog The Harvest Maid's Revenge, and is a native Alabamian with an MFA in poetry. Gavin is also a writer and calligrapher who lives in the Pacific Northwest, who has been published by the likes of Centipede Press, Fantagraphics Books, Hwæt! and Abhartach. We chat about American folk horror, how it differs from its European counterpart, the conditions required for folk horror to emerge, and the presence (real or imagined) of the Devil in American folklore.

It is the month of Halloween so welcome to the Fabulous Folklore Fireside, for we shall have some more ghostly tales this week! Unlike my usual episodes, which feature some kind of dissection of the stories, this episode will entertain you with three stories from north east England. These stories are from More Ghosts and Legends of Northumbria. I’ve given them a bit of a polish, but also be aware that these are ghost stories, so they do include murder, if that’s something you don’t want to listen to with young ones around. But the last one also features a benevolent ghost! Enjoy...

It is the month of Halloween so welcome to the Fabulous Folklore Fireside, for we shall have some ghostly tales this week! Unlike my usual episodes, which feature some kind of dissection of the stories, this episode will entertain you with three stories from north east England, involving shades seeking recognition from beyond the grave. Our first story comes from Rambles in Northumberland and on the Scottish Border by William Andrew Chatto, while the second and third stories are from Ghosts and Legends of Northumbria. I’ve given them a bit of a polish, but also be aware that these are ghost stories, so they do include murder, if that’s something you don’t want to listen to with young ones around. Enjoy...

Welcome to Spooky Season! I'm talking to Eleanor Conlon and Martin Vaux from the Three Ravens podcast about ghost stories! We talk about the fascination we have for ghost stories, what ghost stories need to be creepy, what kinds of ghosts really need to make a comeback in ghostly fiction, and whether it even matters if a place is haunted, or we just think it is! Eleanor Conlon and Martin Vaux are the brains behind the Three Ravens podcast, and they are a real life couple, based in Sussex. Eleanor has a background in theatre, while Martin has a background in writing, teaching, and English literature.
