Hello, new followers. I tweet about folklore, horror, and the surprising number of animals I live with. I'm easy to approach and message, so don't hesitate to do that if you have anything you'd like to see (or talk about!) on The Folklore Podcast.
Also always happy to do guest spots..!

His awful behavior has been an open secret forever. I have no idea how he's still getting work.

HUGE NEWS DAY!

We have a new @egallagher.bsky.social SPLIT SCREAM cover to share!

(In lesser news, there's a new T-Swift album! And that is literally all the news.)

Anyway! SPLIT SCREAM: CURSED PLACES! Featuring novelettes from @sonorataylor.bsky.social & @matthewtpritt.bsky.social

April 2026🖤☠️

Cover art: the two illustrations feature a foreboding, wildly framed mirror and a human silhouette in the reflection; and two hands clutching a mysterious organic, vaguely heart-like mass; plus a blurb from M.Shaw.

A tremendous loss. 💔

For whatever reason this jab seems to have utterly wrecked myself and many others dealing with chronic pain etc. be gentle with yerself.

Hilary Wilson @hstblues.bsky.social · 7d

Last chance!! Grab this while you can!

Lauren Bolger @renbolger.bsky.social · 7d

Is this the last preorder before release day or does anyone else want in? Spinach pie recipe with a threat, comic sticker, and bookmark are all yours with the book! I’ll keep including these until I run out honestly but THE BARRE INCIDENTS IS OUT TOMORROW!

A packing envelope, a copy of my book, The Barre Incidenrs, a comic sticker and bookmark, and a folded recipe with threatening message that says
“I saw u staring at my pie mix the other day. Show this to anyone and I’m not driving u to work anymore Alec, u bastard. Bring me a slice and I’ll let u know how u did.”

Need fiction novel. Reading fun. Brain goes brrr.

Every animal I've shared my life with has come with a lesson, some more difficult to learn than others. Sometimes the lesson is simply patience and humility. Sounds like Scout had a lot of wisdom to share and was a wise fellow. Put a smile on my face to hear him described as a Whole Man.

Hilary Wilson @hstblues.bsky.social · 10d

I wish I'd gotten to meet him, he sounds wonderful.

Hilary Wilson @hstblues.bsky.social · 11d

That type of love and trust is a truly marvelous thing well worth cherishing. We are their whole life, and I think they know how much we care about them and what a huge impact they have on us. Thinking of you. It's never easy outliving them.

I was so excited to see how much traction he gained - he's looking so CHONKY
