    384: Turkish folklore: The Silent Princess
    Sep 11 2024
    The story of the silent princess and the prince who definitely has been cursed by that strange woman in the street. He totally hasn't just psyched himself out thinking that if he doesn't meet the silent princess, he will die, forcing him and his tutor to go on a 15-month-long, stinky quest.

    The creature is the Abaia, the eel that loves life so much it kills everybody.

    383: Monkey King: Food Fight (part 2 of 2)
    Sep 4 2024
    Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, is dead. For real. He was eaten by a lion and is gone for good because we can all trust Pigsy because he's so honest and not looking for a reason to cut and run.

    The creature is Ugallu, a demon from Babylonian mythology, who might be your hero.

    We're back in the story of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King and the Journey to the West, where Monkey goes undercover as a demon and defeats a whole army with a math equation.

    The creature is Tsuchi-gumo, the reason you don't want to be too good at your job. Especially if your job is eating people.

    381: Japanese folklore: Lend Me Your Ears
    Aug 21 2024
    Two stories from Japan about the stories we tell one another. On the first, it's a not-so-famous musician who gets a massive new audience for the legend he has been telling. For the second, it's a man who needs to do his duty...which means doing something terrible to someone he loves.

    The creature is to Totoima, a boar with a stomach ache...from devouring his children...

    380: British Legends: I Loathe that for You
    Aug 14 2024
    The story of the laidly worm is all about the costs and benefits of kissing dragons on the mouth.

    The creature is Topielec, and it might just make or break your video game franchise and/or book.

    379: Norse Sagas: Forsaken (part 2 of 2)
    Aug 7 2024
    We finish up the story of Bard with that of his son, Gest, which includes bloody Christmas parties, fun new games for you and your friends will try* and what happens when you forsake everyone and everything you know and love (spoiler: it doesn’t go well).

    The creature is Sega, a cute little bird who is very, very angry.

    378: Norse Sagas: Snowfell (part 1 of 2)
    Jul 31 2024
    The first part of the story of Bard, a medieval Icelandic dad who goes full Batman.

    The creature is Stallo. It's made of turf and magic, but it takes half your remaining life as soon as it's born, so it's kind of like a real human child in that way.
