Holden is one of the best and most versatile artists working today and his style shifts here from Mignola-esque to exuberant cartoons and a dozen other styles. One of my favourites is the extended section on Halloween, which includes a longer essay from Reppion and a two page comic from Holden. Both are still literate, information heavy and wryly funny but there’s an honest, sincere sweetness to this one in particular that I really responded to.

I think this would be a great book to press into the hands of Pagan teenagers. It balances substantial content with readability, and it covers a lot of ground. Then borrow it and read it yourself. It works well as an introduction to folklore from around the world and is likely to lead a person to want to know more. It’s more of a gateway drug than everything you need to know about folklore.

FASCINATING FOLKLORE
Crafted by the masterful minds of two comic world luminaries, John Reppion and PJ Holden, Fascinating Folklore began as a creative pact between friends, but it swiftly blossomed into an extraordinary compendium, showcasing the magic of folklore like never before.
