The Vampire Issue

The sixth issue of Cunning Folk, a luscious zine from the U.K. dedicated to magic, myth, folklore, and nature.

Issue 6 of Cunning Folk contains articles and essays, folklore, recipes, and fiction surrounding the shadowy and captivating figure of the vampire.

This issue’s contributors delve into the close ties between the vampire and the witch, the Eastern European roots of this archetypal creature, and the universal fear of the returning dead. Among the dozens of articles in this issue…

• Original short stories from Rowan Hisayo Buchanan and Romanian writer Liliana Carstea

• Poetry from CAConrad

• An interview with Professor Ronald Hutton

• Nonfiction from Faye Keegan, Nicolas Jubber, Professor Diane Purkiss, Dr. Thomas Waters, and others

…fully illustrated by Kaitlynn Copithorne with photography from Michael Vince Kim.

The Peculiar Parish Bookshop has reserved a total of 200 copies from this first printing. Earlier editions of Cunning Folk have sold out quickly, and we expect this printing to as well.
