The appearance of the Devil changes with time and place in folklore, drawing on social anxieties, even xenophobia, at times. While some British folktales have a dandy Devil taking innocents to a wrestling match, others present an inhuman black shape.

In the indigenous fables of Sarawak (i.e. Iban, Kelabit, Malay, Melanau, Orang Ulu), the mouse deer was known as a trickster. He is always too smart for his own good, and thus, has the tendency to be cunning and deceitful most of the time.

Hey everyone, I’m Carmen. I’m querying my first MS while working on the next one. I write adult fantasy and get to illustrate them (for my own satisfaction). I love culture, history, mythology and folklore. Would love to meet new writing buddies 🙂

I’ve got a long standing obsession with Baba Yaga and her weird chicken-legged hut. It’s that cool weird fantasy intersection where RPGs smash into folklore that gets me. So many gifted writers have done great riffs off this fable. Art by the legend, Jeff Easley.
