It's said the first modern ghost story was 'A True Relation of the Apparition of Mrs Veal' a pamphlet written by Daniel Defoe, published in 1706. The haunting was based on an alleged Canterbury incident in which a local woman returned to her friend after death #folklorethursday

Seeing as it's both #WorldBookDay and #FolkloreThursday seems an apt time to plug my WIP book of early ghost stories and folklore which inspired major works of supernatural fiction including Christmas Carol, Turn of the Screw, Frankenstein & Sleepy Hollow. (Currently self funded)

Oh, this seems like a good opportunity to share some artwork from one of those stories from Fantasmagoriana which inspired her -'Die Totenbraut' (or Death Bride) based on ancient European folklore. Here's a peak of my comic adaptation illustrated by the talented @CinemamindDavid

It's been a real joy (amidst dark times) waking up today to find so many emails of people purchasing Nyctophobias my charity book of ghost stories. It's been a lot of work (so much work!) but I'm grateful to all who've shared, bought or contributed to the final book.

One the best birthday presents over the weekend - receiving finished pages from the brilliant @CinemamindDavid for my adaptation of the ghost story The Death Bride by Friedrich Schulze. Said to have inspired Frankenstein & featuring early vampire-like folklore. Gorgeously gothic

I've really enjoyed doing more film posters / book covers over the last couple of years & would love to get my teeth into some more in 2020 ( I can also make them animated which is fun). So if you've got a project on the go and want some eye-catching imagery, gimme a holler!

Wayland the smith is a story told in Völundarkviða (a poem in the Poetic Edda) and Þiðreks saga. In them, Wayland is enslaved by a king and takes revenge by killing the king's sons and then escaped by crafting a winged cloak and flying away. #folklorethursday
