Perhaps one of the greatest mysteries that has entered our world exists in the Creep. A gelatinous, living substance like slime, the Creep is an unnatural thing that devours all life it touches. The Creep can only exist in shadow and generally makes its home in dark places, spreading outward. Anything caught in its grasp…

Time for another vampire fact! This month, physical appearance won the poll on my Patreon, so let’s get right into it. What did vampires actually look like – in folklore? Everyone knows their variety of appearances in pop culture, but what about what people actually believed? As always, a quick disclaimer in that this fact…

The time has come to discuss in depth my very favorite werewolf story! Yes, my favorite werewolf story doesn’t come from modern pop culture. Instead, it comes from medieval literature. So let’s dive right into “Bisclavret,” one of the best werewolf stories ever told. Please note that this post will contain the entirety of “Bisclavret,”…

This month we look at something that’s quite the popular topic in pop culture (or at least it used to be) – vampire hunting! Does the concept of “vampire hunting” have any folkloric precedent, unlike “werewolf hunting”? Stick around and find out!

Hi, all. Hope you’re doing well! I just wanted to post a quick little update about a few things… First of all, I have deleted my AO3 account. I know several people followed me there and read my work. I apologize profusely for having to delete it, but I did so for personal reasons. The…

It’s been years since I started my Werewolf Facts series, which has essentially become my branding, and it’s become so popular beyond my wildest dreams that it’s high time I announced my plans to publish a cohesive…

This was an ask response on my Tumblr where I do most of my folklore blogging, but it was popular enough there that I figured I should post it here, too! okeketochi1 asked: Usually  when referring to werewolves people tackle them in a pretty broad  scope. Referring to Le Lobizon, the loup-garou, King lycaon, etc…but…

It’s a new series – it’s werewolf reviews! I’m going to start reviewing various werewolves across many forms of media. Movies, TV shows, video games… and I’m always looking for werewolves in video games, namely ones that don’t suck. I never really found time to do this or motivation to write these kinds of posts/reviews,…

Hello, everyone! There’s a new year not far around the corner! It’s the busiest time of year for me – and probably everyone else – and I have finally decided how to arrange the future of my werewolf/folklore blog, in particular what I run on Tumblr (and crosspost here and elsewhere). I have been trying…

It’s that time of year when the things I love the most get noticed and celebrated at least a little by everybody else (even though corporations still hate creating typical Halloween products that actually include werewolves; seriously go check your local department store, it’s been this way since I was a tiny tiny child)… Happy…
