Who goes there?!

Lurker is a free digital archive of folkloristic research that has overflowed my academic study and just as rightly deserves a home somewhere. If you enjoy the folkloric, the weird or occult please stick around for regular short essays.

About me

I am a 22 year old folklorist, specialising in literary recordings of Celtic folklore through the long Nineteenth Century and the social functionality of folktales. I am currently pursuing study at PhD level. Beyond my scholarly work, I am fascinated by weird Victoriana, forgotten authors and tracing the origins of folkloric figures such as vampires, werewolves, fairies and more.
