See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

Looking for uncommon folk story collections that are NOT the Bros Grimm and are also in English. Harder task that it initially sounds.

  1. bongsworth said: Or Andrew Lang’s fairy books are some good collections. Or Hans Christian Anderson of course. Horribly gruesome tales.
  2. bongsworth said: Scottish tales have a few good ones. Anything about selkies or kelpies are good as well as any tales of the fae coming and stealing the babies away and replacing them with changelings. Of course you also have Tam o shanter the burns poem.

  4. thatgreenox said: Ever look up “The Telltale Lilac Bush”? It’s a collection of West Virginia and Appalachian ghost stories. Maybe not exactly what you’re looking for, but first thing that came to my mind.
  5. ambiguousdickenergy said: VERY DIFFICULT I am always looking for horror/monster lore like that.
  6. ninetimesthepain said: Italo Calvino’s book of Italian folktales? That was my favorite growing up. Or anything from Iceland— their folktales are terrifyingly awesome!
