If you’re in Delta BC, go check out Killer Verse. One of my stories will be performed there tonight (not by me, for the first time). It’s inspired by Inuit oral tradition and called This is the Time Just Before Spider Woman Meets Kiviuq. https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/killer-verse-2023-a-night-of-literary-terror-tickets-704870977067?utm_experiment=test_share_listing&aff=ebdsshios @indigenousauthors

Alright so let's try this.

What folktales or fairy tales would you nominate for a Folktale of the Year bracket?

What's your favorite tale?
Which one do you think would make a good Folktale of the Year for 2024?
Which one would be fun to campaign for in a vote?
Which one would you enjoy reading other people's opinions about?

Give us a title, a summary, or a type (see toot below for explanation of tale types) 😄

Boosts welcome

I am still mulling over the idea of doing a folktale bracket for October... Have people nominate their favorite tale types and find some fun stories for each type, maybe. What say you all?

“I sometimes feel as if there is a great chain of stories that links us all through the ages. And each link in the chain is a gift received and passed on in turn.”
S.F. Said

I saw this quote at an exhibition and fell in love with it. A part of me also wants to swap the word stories for recipes which I feel is also valid.

The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart.

What a fucking BOOK holy heck.
I’ll need to find a hard copy of it so I can devour it again and again, and inevitably lend it out and lose it forever. But it’ll be WORTH IT.

Up there with Let Me Sing You Gentle Songs for beautiful stories that split and twist like braided rivers before spilling back into the ocean.
Might have a new top five book ay

@FallenRedNinja @bookstodon Finally got around to this compelling story of family secrets, the healing power of the natural world, and , and the strength of sisterhood. A quick look at reviews suggests that a mini-series has overtaken the book itself.
