TRADITION IS A TRANSMISSIBLE INFECTION.
Folklore and Flesh — Ten visceral tales and 12 poems of cultural isolation and bodily metamorphosis.
The Diagnosis
Your ancestors didn’t invent rituals to honor the earth; they invented them to keep the rot at bay.
Folklore and Flesh maps the precise anatomy of a curse. We have stripped the polite veneer off traditional myths to expose the snapping teeth underneath. If you are looking for safe, disposable bedtime stories, look elsewhere. This collection operates entirely on the dread of the body betraying itself—where breaking a sacred law guarantees a visceral metamorphosis.
“A collaborative explosion between ancient dread and modern psychological trauma. It changes the temperature of the room.”
“Brutal and brilliant.”
— Anna M.
“Unforgettable body horror.”
— Krista J.
“Kept me up until 3:00 AM.”
— Sam R.
