The ever-magical Terri Windling recently updated her website, and her revamping includes a new section on “Mythic Resources.” Guess what she linked to?
CARTERHAUGH! The Carterhaugh School of Folklore and the Fantastic is listed as a resource for classes on folklore on her webiste!

She also links to Through the Twisted Woods!
Speaking of which, I have a new review of Makoto Shinkai’s film Your Name up on TTW. This is my favorite film I’ve seen in ages, and in this review I think about some of its connections to folklore. I can’t recommend the movie highly enough- it’s visually gorgeous, has a fantastic soundtrack, and basically is everything I love about anime.
I'm Dr. Sara Cleto, folklorist, teacher, and writer. In 2018 I completed my PhD in English and Folklore at the Ohio State University. My areas of interest include fairy tales and their adaptations, nineteenth-century literature, folk narratives, disability studies, speculative fiction, supernatural folklore, feminist theory, and queer theory, which inform my scholarship and creative writing.
