30 stories · 30 original illustrations · An Incoprea long read
A village hires a musician and loses its children. A woman discovers that her beautiful new husband is a skull wearing borrowed body parts. A woman goes into the marsh to investigate its monsters, and the monsters bury her: unfortunately for everyone, she is the Moon. These are the kinds of stories that make modern horror look restrained.
These thirty retellings range from place-bound legends and old folktales to modern urban legends and a living Māori ancestral tradition. Each follows an identified version, with sources close at hand. The interpretations offer one reading of the stories rather than a single meaning for an entire culture.
