Devil and Woman on Horseback. Hand-colored woodcut print from the Nuremberg Chronicle - 1493.
The podcast dedicated to the Weird Fiction and Ghost Stories of M.R. James.
This episode Mike and Will interview folklorist Jacqueline Simpson about the influence of Scandinavian and English folklore on M.R. James’s ghost stories, as well as Jacqueline’s collaboration with Terry Pratchett on ‘Folklore of the Discworld’.
I love love love this interview. Jacqueline Simpson is a joy to listen to, and she's a glorious teller of so many wonderful and scary bits of folklore, including one or two that I knew about such as the Witch of Berkeley. There's a delightful anecdote about Terry Pratchett and his quest for lore about magpies, and she does a brilliant narration of the story within a story found in Count Magnus.
