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..!

Oh frig it's awards eligibility post season! Had a few things come out but what I'd like to focus on is my debut novella FEEDING THE WHEEL (Dead Sky Publishing, July 2025). If you thought it was cool, *I'd* think it was cool if you suggested it for long fiction or debut categories or whatever. Party

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

Fascinating piece here about the epigenetic clock—a measure of "biological age"—and its potential to signal species decline before it's too late. #SaveTheEndlings

The epigenetic clock measures biological age and could help scientists assess the health of polar bears, dolphins, baboons and other threatened creatures "while recovery is still possible"

Had a wonderful chat with @paulinechow.bsky.social yesterday about her book Chasing Moonflowers - can't wait for people to hear it. We talked about everything from colonization to food and vampires... With a great deal of traditional Chinese medicine and bone script mixed in.
