Only 7 days left for the Spider Stories Kickstarter! I wrote about it last week on LoveAt1stByte.com. This is one of the more interesting projects that was destined to be turned into a film (and if the creators get more support, eventually an animated series!). The project is currently 75% funded and needs the final big push towards the $25,000 goal! Please check it out!

I reviewed and did a short interview...Expand this post »

Having grown up on local folktales, I find it interesting to see the Aswang folklore studied in a non-Filipino perspective.

I remember reading the Maximo Ramos book from the library in high school. Anyone knows where I can get a copy of that these days?

The Festival of folklore and European culture was first born in 1964, and it has traveled Europe ever since, taking place every year in a different city.

My Little Pony meets Nuckelavee. Friendship is I WILL BLIGHT YOUR CROPS AND LIVESTOCK WITH MY POISON BREATH AND DRAG YOU INTO THE OCEAN WHERE I SHALL DEVOUR YOUR FLEASH

I was so happy to find this thing at Comic Con last year. Nuckelavee was one of my favorite monsters as a young girl. I remember reading about it and thinking, “Ohmygawd! Why isn’t there a picture? I need to see this!”
