Mark Norman
About this episode
Mark Norman discusses folklore, publishing niche topics, and the allure of darker stories.
A note that the audio for this episode isn't the best it could be. We had a few internet connectivity issues and Julian, our editor, did his best with what I gave him. Folkrist and author Mark Norman of The Folklore Podcast joined me this month to talk about reading and collecting folklore, publishing on niche topics (including pop-culture folklore), and what draws us to the darker stories of the past and present. You can find out more about Mark's most recent book Hallowed Ground: The Folklore of Churches and Churchyards ( Crossed Crow ) and all of his many project including the podcast and his nonprofit, The Folklore Archives, on his website . Though Mark sells his books directly from his online shop in the UK, he advises US readers to purchase locally, unless of course you'd like it signed.
