Member Episode 14: Cat Lady

By |2016-12-11T06:00:17-05:00November 25th, 2016|Categories: Member Post|

I don't want to give away too much, but this is about an elderly old woman who lives alone with her cat. Also, she consumes an unhealthy amount of cabbage soup. The creature is hairy and naked (no surprises there), but you don't get to be horrified by this because one look will kill you. Sorry.

51-Loki: Them Apples

Three stories of Loki, the infamous trickster from Norse mythology. Most of his hijinks are light-hearted, and end with him getting his comeuppance, but it comes in the form of being a bridesmaid at Thor's wedding or (as in this episode) an extremely uncomfortable game of tug-of-war. What happens when a trick gets taken too far? [...]

50-Dracula: Bad Blood

Dracula Dracula isn't a creature from myths, legends, or folklore. The fictional vampire is a product of Bram Stoker. The name, though, stretches back centuries to a prince who ruled the kingdom called Wallachia, which borders the land with which he's most famously associated: Transylvania. We'll be talking all about the pseudo-legendary exploits of the real bloody [...]

49-Russian Folklore: I Pity the Fool (ad-free)

By |2016-11-08T22:44:32-05:00November 8th, 2016|Categories: Member Post|

The unexpected story of a fool, an epic quest, and a flying ship. Also, why you should respect your elders, especially if they want to give you a lot of free bread and vodka. The creature is the Lake Worth Monster, from Texas in the US. It is either a monstrous man-goat-fish...or a teenager who likes ice [...]

48-Snow White: Killer Queen (ad-free)

The original stories of Little Red Riding Hood and Snow White, despite their Disney adaptations and being fairy tales largely told to children, are incredibly violent and gruesome. They have murder, kidnapping, and, of course, hot dance moves. Bluebeard is, unsurprisingly, a man with a beard that is blue. What is surprising is what you'll find [...]

Member Episode 13: Lend Me Your Ear

By |2018-03-15T14:43:30-04:00October 28th, 2016|Categories: Member Post|

A story from Mexican folklore, about a woman who loses (almost) everything and completely changes her life. She lives for years with mercenaries, pirates, and finally, has a confrontation that changes everything. The creature is a sad, wet, misogynistic chicken. "Thread of Clouds", "Corner Aisle", "Brass Buttons", "Blood Petal" and "A Certain Lightness", all by Blue [...]
