In Western culture, the Grim Reaper is the personification of death. Wielding a scythe, he or she has been associated with Autumn as a harvester of souls since the Black Death of the 14th Century. The Grim Reaper's name emerged in the 1800s. #FolkloreThursday 1911 Petit Journal, 1915 M. Fingesten

If a young man sees a red envelope on the ground in Taiwan he shouldn't pick it up. It could be dowry to marry someone’s deceased daughter! The subsequent ceremony prevents an unmarried woman from haunting her relatives and gives her status in the afterlife 💀 #FolkloreThursday 1952 Richard Roussos

A priest is marrying a man to a skeletal ghost bride in a graveyard. He is wearing a tuxedo, and she is in a wedding dress. Other skeleton ghosts are standing around watching the wedding take place.

We have come for the child, says the hooded figure
So soon? she asks
It is time, says the hooded figure.
The woman is distraught. We should never have got him a library card!
What is done cannot be undone, says the hooded figure
We couldn’t see the harm! We just wanted him to enjoy reading!
For most, it ends there, says the hooded figure, turning away and walking into the wilderness

Since time immemorial, the new moon has represented new cycles. Traditionally, it was for invocation, planting and building. In East Canada, the third day was for pruning trees. In North Carolina, it was bad luck to see the new moon first through tree branches #FolkloreThursday 1910 Hans Thoma

An illustration of the man in the moon with his eyes closed. Clouds are below him and mist swirls around him. A crown or 3D wheel hovers above him in the air with astrological signs on it. The word “mond” is at the bottom, which is moon in German.

YA+ brainrot ecopunk cryptid horror

"You grow up afraid of the water here. Doesn’t matter if you ate in swimming lessons, the glacier-fed waters have these hidden currents. They’ll freeze your balls off and leave the rest of you on ice. We spend every summer throwing shade at the latest drownings while trading horror stories about what lurks in the depths. Those stories have me tucking my knees now, flinching at every lap against the pilings and straining to make out the chittering beneath the loon-call echoes of voices in the distance..."

Ecopunk cryptid horror meets the manosphere/toxic masculinity with a side of anticolonialism/anticapitalism & a splash of mid-2020s-era brainrot in this 6k word short in a dark speculative/horror anthology for teens and up featuring 13 haunting stories set on/near the British Columbian coast by Western Canadian authors.
