The Folk Horror Consortiumさんのイラストまとめ

TIM THE CAT-A woodcut from 1918 and currently residing in the V&A special papers collection showing Tim,perhaps English witchcraft's most famous Familiar

PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK- 4 covers from the 1967 classic of eerie dislocations

BOOK CORNER 3-Another recommendation,this time of a book that will be best enjoyed by the visually orientated more than,say,the purely literary. Excellent companion for anyone who hasn't already got these familiar images in other books

FUZZY AND HAZY-If the Folk Horror Consortium could have its very own soundtrack,it would probably be this compilation from many moons ago, long OOP but still obtainable for pennies from leading high street charity shops.

Classic stuff

SCOTTISH REVELS- A lovely 18th century print of what was assumed to be the general sort of thing that went on north of the border during a typical satanic ritual-and not a glimpse of tartan anywhere in sight

THE BIRDS-Four covers embellishing variously aged editions of the Du Maurier Folk Horror chiller

TALE OF THE WHITE DEER-The classic 1981 Chinese animation retelling the ancient folktale about a fairy deer and the ingratitude of the humans he once upon a time put himself out to save. Well worth tracking down...

FAIRIES-A fairy riding a cockroach... I thought I'd post something that'll cheer everyone up on this gloomy apocalyptic tuesday. We all deserve it
