It always looks amazing doesn’t it?

I’ve ordered mine. Really looking forward to it.

Darkness in the Fields - Midsummer 4 A 5-day online festival of folk horror, with author interviews, talks and writing workshops, taking place for Summer Solstice.

Summer can certainly be the season of folk horror, and this year DARKNESS IN THE FIELDS: MIDSUMMER 4 takes place from 17th-21st June to prove the point... www.eventbrite.com/e/darkness-i... #folkhorror #horror #horrorfiction #horrorevent #horrorevents #horrorfestival #horrorfest

It’s lovely work. Possibly early Bronze Age. We have dozens of sites in Northumberland (I visited three of them the other day).
No one knows what they mean though.

Terrifying.
Kind of makes you glad the little creep fell off the wall.

Sounds lovely

During COVID, I discovered a number of folklore/folk horror/weirdness zines from the UK like @helleborezine.bsky.social @occultaria.bsky.social and Weird Walks, so it's nice to finally see a similar publication from this side of the Atlantic: Issue #1 of @crossroadsfolk.bsky.social

I saw a lovely deer on my walk this morning.

"Hey! Artemis crew! Soup's ready!"

New rule:

newspapers who encourage their readers to buy a second home in the countryside that sits empty eight months of the year aren't allowed to blame the housing crisis on immigrants

Because in most cases Christian festivals weren’t taken from pagan ones.

IT’S HERE! Nature sprites, magical blooms, holy and unholy trees, wild men of the woods, numinous forests, dying-and-reviving deities.

👉🏼 Pre-orders for The Green Issue are now open worldwide!

I’ve put my pre-order in. I’m looking forward to reading it.

Mine too!

I feel spring time almost with the same intensity as Christmas… like the air is pregnant, a longing, an urge to be by a stream in the woods as the greenery calls out.
I’m looking forward to reading this issue.

Sounds amazing.

Looks great.

Cute

Great image and I love the John Barleycorn song. I’m actually writing a folk horror story inspired by the title and the folklore figure (though not the contents of the song).

These are excellent. I didn’t know about these trees.

No worries. I wish I could get there myself but it’s quite a way to go.

Best of luck with the event. It sounds great.

Sounds great folks.
I’m a long way from Dorchester so I won’t get there (went once and it was lovely) but best of luck with the event and with the new edition - Andy.

Trying to ‘fix’ an issue that has caused zero problems.
It’s just pure spite.

I'm putting together a post of indie and self-published SFF by trans and non-binary authors if anyone would like to be added! (If I miss you for the post, I can also add you to my LGBTQIA+ collection!)

Lovely article. Customs rooted in ordinary people and in nature will always find kindred spirits from all cultures. This is who we are as humans. It’s the vulture capitalists, the billionaires, the grifters and the unpatriotic racists who try to stop this.

There are a few pop-up folk horror film festivals popping up at the moment such as Fiend in the Furrows festival in Leith.
Running in April it includes outdoor screenings of some classics (Wicker Man) and also Mark Jenkin's new film
