Brilliant
I love this creepy podcast full of folklore & fable! The narrators voice gets a bit grating at times, but overall a great listen to anyone who likes traditional stories.

I was given this book by a friend who knows of my love of "fantasy" books and folklore / mythology. This was an absolutely magnificent read that draws you in from the first page and keeps you guessing until the end. Exceedingly well written with characters you can associate with. I have to admit that my favourite part of the book is actually the location of Wales and therefore the folklore given is Welsh. It make such a refreshing change to read about Wales' history and not just Ireland.

Would highly recommend it to simply everyone!!!

Winter wonderland read
This tale is based on Alaskan folklore, and is rewritten in terrifying, yet beautiful prose. The characters were created with depth and with intricate humanity. This story will capture and hold you through its entirety, and leave you wanting more.

Great Collection
A different take on some classic folklore. My favourite story was the last one but I loved the others too. They had their own twists and turns which made them different from the traditional tales you hear. All of them dark and wonderful.

The best of the fantasy horror shows on TV!
Contains spoilers, click to show
Better special effects than True Blood, this show is the new and better Buffy, that uses actual folklore in adding to the creativity of the Supernatural created universe, unlike its predecessor who relied on created folklore to fill in plot holes. The later seasons have their ups and downs in terms of new humor and repetitiveness, but it is well worth the journey!

An episode to highlight would be when Sam and Dean face off against Famine, one of the four horses of the apocalypse.


Grab a canister of Morton Salt, a piece of pie and a blanket to snuggle in and enjoy the inside jokes!

Perfect for a fan of bad fiction. I dearly love it for that. (0 more)
So much. Absurdly silly world-building around classic folklore, ridiculous plot points (clumsiness as a motivation for over-protectiveness, credulous parents whose child can do WTFever she likes no matter how many red flags her behavior should raise). (0 more)
Hilariously bad and awful

This horror novel is perfect for fans of The Terror. The story sucks you in before you know it and soon you are as unsure and terrified as the protagonists. The blend of folklore and legend, of myth and supernatural, of real and make believe are what keeps you reading long after it’s given you the creeps.

HeiligÂ’s debut novel is inspired by Hawaiian myth and folklore and has an entirely diverse cast with a biracial main character, a Persian love interest, etc. (IÂ’ve completely forgotten about everyone else).

Have I mentioned time traveling is through maps?! If the Hawaiian myth and folklore don't grab you, then the maps definitely should.
