I'm preparing a short talk on monsters in folklore for a literary event coming up! Definitely gonna talk about the night hag and vagina dentata...how to narrow down the rest? I'm trying to make incisive social commentary while I'm at it. #FolkloreThursday

Scooting in with a last-minute #FolkloreThursday post - I was quoted in a National Geographic piece on witches!!! nationalgeographic.com/history/articl…
