@GBliss Don’t pay silly second-hand prices for it, hunt it out in charity shops.

@GBliss Many refer to it as their first or alternative childhood bible. Read it and you will understand why.

@GBliss Now while all you mention is the bread, fat and apple brandy of Hookland itself, nothing in the county is made up, just remembered differently. Everything here comes from the lore, comes from the land.

@GBliss One of the beautiful things about social media is the access it gives us to great minds, so in terms of academic folklore and the gothic if you are not following @amyhale93 @MurphGothic at @JeffreyATolbert – you are missing out.

@GBliss I would also say that @odavies9 is someone everyone with any interest in folklore should follow.

@GBliss Most of all, I think the best approach to a subject as rich and widespread as folklore is to follow you interest. Find it locally, follow the themes regionally, nationally and globally. Read any book, however bad, and follow what makes you itch to academia and beyond.

@amyhale93 @GBliss @MurphGothic @JeffreyATolbert You are not only one of my benchmark voices, you are one of folklore‰Ûªs benchmark voices. It is less praise than a statement of fact.
