It's time for #FolkHorrorFriday with Ring (1998)

We are so back

Shameless promotion: Fine podcasters of Bluesky! Please hit me up if you're interested in talking about Crossroads Folk Horror Zine with us. Scary As Folk @scaryasfolk.bsky.social and I would LOVE to yap at you. @crossroadsfolk.bsky.social

Incredibly grateful and flattered that Moreau Vazh of @taskerland.bsky.social wrote a thoughtful and comprehensive review of the first issue of Crossroads. I'm a little emotional about the response our zine has gotten. 🥹

Extremely excited to read the inaugural issue of @crossroadsfolk.bsky.social! 📚🩸

Absolutely pumped to get this. Amazing work @crossroadsfolk.bsky.social! (Extra points for the ghosty sticker and no AI disclaimer 👏👏👏)

Oooh, look what just landed. Thanks @crossroadsfolk.bsky.social , I'm looking forward to diving into this soon.

*whispers* t w o d a y s

Just got my copy of @crossroadsfolk.bsky.social in the mail today. Can’t wait to read it

It came! @innocence.com and I are terribly excited to dive into Issue 1! (Very cute ghost sticker on the envelope, @crossroadsfolk.bsky.social)

I forgot to say earlier that this morning, I finished reading this, and it’s GREAT. Congrats to @crossroadsfolk.bsky.social and @theharvestmaid.bsky.social. I took my time, because I knew if I liked it I was going to want to dive into more, and that’s what happened.

This week's "Good for Her" #FolkHorrorFriday is Ring (1998), the classic that brought J-Horror to the rest of the world. Maybe not the first thing you think of when you hear the term "folk horror," but it is folkloric, with a dash of the occult. Join us Friday, 9pm ET. Free to stream on Tubi.

I returned today from my week away to find two very 'andsome new zines waiting for me: the inaugural issue of @crossroadsfolk.bsky.social and no. 2 of Ritual by @weirdwalk.bsky.social waiting for me. Looking forward to getting stuck in.

Feeling like shit, but at least I've got this.

Also, for the #folkhorrorfriday crew and followers generally, if you haven't yet, check out @crossroadsfolk.bsky.social and their first issue, which is a joy from top to bottom. Some great writing, insights, and art in a sexy little volume. Hope I can scrape together enough money for future issues.

Tomorrow! Tomorrow! The greatest night of the week! Join us as we watch Repo: The Genetic Opera for #HorrorWatch! And don't forget to join our friends at #FolkHorrorFriday tonight for the Severed Sun! Also at 9PM EST

Just a few more minutes until we hit play on The Severed Sun! #FolkHorrorFriday

Good morning! Have you submitted your proposal yet for our music issue?

Congrats! We've almost made it.

#ZineMail Psyched to get my contributor copies of issue 1 of @crossroadsfolk.bsky.social. Includes my essay about RACE WITH THE DEVIL: “Don’t (Satanic) Panic on the Highway to Hell” This is a sharp-looking production and one that any folk horror fan worth their salt will wanna get.

Bookmail joy!

That’s bedtime reading sorted for a while… @crossroadsfolk.bsky.social @theharvestmaid.bsky.social #folkhorror

Indeed, but everyone knows what the cover looks like, I was struck by this little guy on the envelope from @crossroadsfolk.bsky.social

Two more days until watch The Severed Sun for #FolkHorrorFriday 9pm ET on Tubi and Shudder

Sames @crossroadsfolk.bsky.social!!

Me too! @crossroadsfolk.bsky.social

Got my first @crossroadsfolk.bsky.social issue!

I checked my mailbox this afternoon and immediately became the coolest dude in the North Country. Take that, Bob Mould. You, too, Renée Fleming. @theharvestmaid.bsky.social @crossroadsfolk.bsky.social

Got mine! Thank you @crossroadsfolk.bsky.social #folkhorror #zine

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

Don't forget to submit!

I actually got my copies YESTERDAY but apocalypse, Armageddon, call your congresscritters… ANYWAY. Loooook! Crossroads Issue 1: The Long Decade! Proud to be included and can’t wait to feast on everybody’s brilliant work! 💚 @crossroadsfolk.bsky.social #folkhorror

Got some very cool #Bookmail 💙📚🩸 -The Crossroads: Folk Horror in the US zine from @crossroadsfolk.bsky.social -Spell Bound: a beautiful book on the history & art of vintage paperbacks abt witchcraft/the occult from Century Guild (& it glows!) I'll put more pics from Spell Bound in the replies :)

My Southern magic school novel CONJURE ISLAND, full of hoodoo and broom magic, was selected for the 2026 Kids Reading Across Rhode Island (KRARI) Program! Copies are available to public and school libraries interested in hosting a KRARI book discussion or activity. Link in my bio! #skybrarians

Hell yeah @crossroadsfolk.bsky.social

Another selling point--Crossroads issue 1 makes a great cat bed!

Finishing my dinner before I dive in, so I don't gunk it up, can hardly wait! @theharvestmaid.bsky.social @crossroadsfolk.bsky.social thank you for the thank you postcard, that was a sweet surprise 😘

We assume that Bluesky has crashed from the impact of CROSSROADS hitting some people's mailboxes today. Apologies.

The site is acting up, which means it's the perfect time to announce our call for proposals for issue 2. What are we looking for? Read on:

It's here! Thank you to @crossroadsfolk.bsky.social !

hell yeah got my @crossroadsfolk.bsky.social copy today

My @crossroadsfolk.bsky.social arrived super quickly! It’s gorgeous! I’ll be first in line to order any future issues! Someday, I’d love to write something about #gastrohorror for them!
