Lots of interesting thoughts and stories, as usual, yessss for myths as a kind of first exposure to the horror genre...

2022-03-13 15:25:03 +0000 UTCBrilliant episode! Somali mythology sounds fascinating, I'll have to look some of that up. One thing that would make it even better (at least for me) would be some recommendations of where to find good versions of some of these myths. I have a small collection of folklore & myth that I'd like to expand but there's so many versions out there it would be interesting to hear which ones you guys recommend :)
