Welcome, oh fellowship of fiends, to Fear is the Fire that Lights the Heart. A humble podcast, where we delve into the darkness that dwells beyond the edges of genre. Each episode we’re going to gather up a roundtable of writers, editors, and publishers to discuss the most beloved of all genres, horror. Today we discuss that unsettling village that lay nestled in the woods, Folk Horror. Witches and cunning folk, cults and taboo magic of blood, spit, and sorrow. All things that crawl under the skin and keep us up at night.
Today’s guests are Rowan Lee (aka The Harvest Maid), reviewer and critic of folk horror, Stina Marie (aka Mother Suspiria), artist, horror fan, and reviewer, and Premee Mohamed, author of The Butcher of the Forest, the Siege of Burning Grass, and tons more.
