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
@renieplayerone My webcomic is The Flying Ship, a queer fantasy inspired by slavic folklore, it's on Tapas https://t.co/wBViJjauc2 and it's own site here https://t.co/ditUC0GWCN

Baba Yaga, a redoubtable figure in Slavic folklore is a true bad-ass as it is often depicted as a child-eating witch.
Alexandra captured Baba Yaga's true nature and perfectly mastered a traditional feel of an illustration
