SUMMARY:The February Book Club - Woman\, Eating by Claire Kohda
DESCRIPTION:Hey all! Our book club pick for February is Woman\, Eating by Claire Kohda\, a really unusual take on the vampire legend that we think will give us a LOT to talk about! \n“Absolutely brilliant – tragic\, funny\, eccentric and so perfectly suited to this particularly weird time. Claire Kohda takes the vampire trope and makes it her own in a way that feels fresh and original. Serious issues of race\, disability\, misogyny\, body image\, sexual abuse are handled with subtlety\, insight\, and a lightness of touch. The spell this novel casts is so complete I feel utterly\, and happily\, bitten.” — Ruth Ozeki\, Booker-shortlisted author of A Tale for the Time Being \nOur meeting will be on Monday\, February 27th at 7PM ET – if you want to join us\, make sure you’re at a $7+ tier for the month of February! \nCan’t make it live? The replay will be available right after the meeting takes place!

SUMMARY:The February Patreon Fairy-Tale Salon
DESCRIPTION:Please find the info for our February Fairy-Tale Salon below! \nDate: February 16th at 7PM ET \nPrompt: What is something quirky you do to show love? \nQuest: Valentine’s Day can be a tricky holiday – some people love it\, some people hate it\, some people think it’s a “Hallmark holiday” that only exists to make us buy more stuff. We\, however\, happen to love it\, and we use it to celebrate all kinds of love (in fact\, Sara used to buy roses for ALL her classmates in high school\, so that no one was left out or felt sad!) For our salon meeting this month\, we want to know – what’s something quirky or off-beat that you do to show love to someone you care about? Do you always cover them with a blanket when they fall asleep on the couch or maybe randomly make them a batch of their favorite cookies for no reason at all? Do you suffer ungrudgingly through concerts for a band you hate just because they love them\, always bring home some kind of turtle thing (their fav) from the dollar store when you know they’ve had a hard day\, or sing silly songs you made up on the spot just to see them smile? Whatever it is\, we can’t wait to hear! \nIf you’d like to participate\, make sure that you’re on the Salonnières tier or higher on Patreon for the month of February – looking forward to seeing you there!

SUMMARY:The January Book Club - The 2022 Short Stories Nominated for the Hugo Award
DESCRIPTION:We’re doing something a little different this month! Instead of a single book\, our book club picks for January are the five short stories nominated for the 2022 Hugo Award.  \nWe’re a little late getting the information about this book club out\, so we figured a shorter assignment was only fair – plus\, these stories are all AMAZING and thought provoking and strange and wonderful. We can’t wait to talk about each of them with you (and\, of course\, taking a vote on which story you think should have won!) \nThe five short story nominees for 2022 were: \n“Where Oaken Hearts Do Gather” by Sarah Pinsker (Uncanny Magazine\, Mar/Apr 2021) \n“Mr. Death” by Alix E. Harrow (Apex Magazine\, Feb 2021) \n“Proof by Induction” by José Pablo Iriarte (Uncanny Magazine\, May/Jun 2021) \n“The Sin of America” by Catherynne M. Valente (Uncanny Magazine\, Mar/Apr 2021) \n“Tangles” by Seanan McGuire (Magicthegathering.com: Magic Story\, Sep 2021) \n“Unknown Number” by Blue Neustifter (Twitter\, Jul 2021)\n[Note: This story was published on Twitter\, which means that you have to follow the replies in the thread to get the full story!] \nClick each story to read! \nIn case you’re not familiar with them\, the Hugo Awards are annual awards for the best science fiction/fantasy works and achievements of the previous year. They are given at the World Science Fiction Convention and chosen by the World Science Fiction Society members. They’re kinda a big deal!  \nOur meeting will take place on January 26th at 7PM ET. Can’t make it live? The replay will be available right after the meeting takes place. \nAll you have to do is support us on Patreon for $7+ and you’ll get a link to join in!

SUMMARY:Smithsonian Associates: How to Write a Fairy Tale
DESCRIPTION:Everyone thinks they know what a fairy tale is. There are castles\, a prince or two\, maybe a curse to break or a talking cat to befriend. But what is a fairy tale\, really? What are the necessary pieces that make a story recognizable as a fairy tale? And how might you write one of your own? \nWriting a fairy tale is not as easy a task as you might imagine. Some argue that to make a fairy tale\, your story has to follow certain rules. Some say that what happens in a story\, the specific plot points\, and stock characters make a fairy tale. Others still argue that none of those things really matter at all —what matters is the particular work that fairy tales do in the world. Maybe J.R.R. Tolkien had it right when he spoke of fairy tales as simply stories that have “a peculiar mood and power\,” stories that capture the feel of Faerie. \nJoin folklorists and writers Sara Cleto and Brittany Warman on January 24th at 6:45PM as they explore how to go about writing a fairy tale of your own. Do you have to follow the rules? What kinds of questions should you ask? What practical steps do you need to follow? \nExplore the plot elements that define these stories\, the characters who move through them\, and ways to create a fairy-tale atmosphere or a twist on a traditional tale. Using folkloristics\, fairy-tale studies\, and narrative theory\, Cleto and Warman reveal the structures and rules that underpin the fairy tale—and show you how to re-create and break them in your own writing. And don’t worry: There will be plenty of writing prompts to help get you started on fairy tales of your own. \nClick here to grab your ticket!

SUMMARY:The December Book Club - Christmas Days by Jeanette Winterson
DESCRIPTION:Our December book club pick is CHRISTMAS DAYS: 12 STORIES AND 12 FEASTS FOR 12 DAYS by Jeanette Winterson! \nThis book is full of stories that are funny and thought-provoking\, traditional and innovative\, “childlike and spooky” – exactly the kinds of tales you want to read during the winter holiday time! Though her theme is Christmas\, we think this collection will appeal to those of any and/or no religion in their lives as well – there are mysteries\, ghost stories\, and romances here! \n“Spooky\, clever\, funny\, and poignant\, Winterson’s supernatural tales refresh our appreciation of what it truly means to give\, to love\, and to share joy.” – Booklist \n“Winterson has gathered 12 Yule-themed stories . . . She is especially good with the supernatural\, using eerie and magical elements in ways that hark back to Poe and Dickens . . . Spooky\, inventive\, funny . . . [the book] has a 19th-century charm much needed in the grim 21st.” – Kirkus Reviews (starred review) \nPlus there are a bunch of delicious-sounding recipes as well! \nOur meeting will take place on December 27th at 7PM ET. \nCan’t make it live? The replay will be available right after the meeting takes place! \nAll you have to do is support us on Patreon for $7+ for the month of December and you’ll get the link to join in!

SUMMARY:The November Book Club - What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher
DESCRIPTION:Our October book club pick is WHAT MOVES THE DEAD by T. Kingfisher! \n\n(We couldn’t resist another Kingfisher novel… or\, somehow\, another scary mushroom book??)  \n\nPlus this one? It’s a total reimagining of “The Fall of the House of Usher\,” by Edgar Allen Poe\, one of the most famous\, unsettling\, and awesome Gothic short stories of all time. Kingfisher adds\, as Andy Davidson puts it\, “a wholly new mythology” to the tale and we are here for it. \n\n“Thoroughly creepy and utterly enjoyable.” — Publishers Weekly \n\n“T. Kingfisher spins biting wit\, charm and terror into a tale that will make your skin crawl. Poe would be proud!”―Brom \n\n“A fluid technicolor reimagining of Poe’s “House of Usher” that takes no prisoners…Not to be missed.” – Brian Evenson \n\nOur meeting will take place on November 29th at 7PM ET. \n\nCan’t make it live? No worries – the replay will be available right after the meeting takes place! \n\nTo join in\, all you have to do is support us on Patreon for $7+ for the month of November\, and we’ll send you the link!

SUMMARY:The October Book Club - The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black
DESCRIPTION:Our October book club pick is THE COLDEST GIRL IN COLDTOWN by Holly Black! \nThat’s right: we’re FINALLY reading Holly Black! \nOur meeting will take place on October 27th at 7PM ET. \nCan’t make it live? No worries – the replay will be available right after the meeting takes place! \nTo join\, support us on Patreon for $7+ for the month of October\, and you’ll get the invite sent straight to your inbox. \nY’all\, this is one of our favorite vampire books of all time. It’s incredibly creative and one of those books we gobbled up in one night. Here’s what the Kirkus Review (starred!) had to say about it: “Ten years ago\, a vampire “started romanticizing himself” and went on a rampage\, turning people until new vampires were everywhere. As much as possible\, they are contained in walled Coldtowns\, along with humans who idolize them—or were trapped when the walls went up. Outside\, people avoid going out after dark\, watch endless feeds from Coldtown parties and idolize vampire hunters. When nihilistic Tana\, whose emptiness seems to stem from events surrounding her mother’s infection with vampirism\, wakes up in a blood bath to find her ex-boyfriend infected and a terrifying but gorgeous vampire chained beside him\, she is determined to make things right. What follows is a journey that takes her into Coldtown and out of the grief that has plagued her for years\, with plenty of sharply observed characters and situations that feel absurdly\, horribly believable. There’s dry humor and even a relationship (to call it a romance would be too easy; this is something entirely more complex). Perhaps most unexpectedly\, there is no happy ending\, just a thread of hope in humanity.\nYou may be ready to put a stake in vampire lit\, but read this first: It’s dark and dangerous\, bloody and brilliant.”

SUMMARY:The September Book Club - The Faraway Nearby by Rebecca Solnit
DESCRIPTION:We’re trying something completely different for book club this month. Since so many of you have been interested in using fairy tales when writing about your own lives (i.e. using fairy tales in memoir)\, we thought The Faraway Nearby by Rebecca Solnit could be a great launchpad into that discussion.  \nThe Faraway Nearby isn’t quite like anything else we’ve ever read. It’s part memoir\, part fairy tale\, part travelogue\, part prose poem\, and part literary criticism. There’s also an incredibly gorgeous essay/ fairy tale that runs along the bottom of each page of the book (which you can read in one fell swoop at the end of the Kindle version.) Solnit uses fairy tales\, Frankenstein\, history\, personal narrative and about a million other things to explore how we are all made of stories – how the stories we tell shape us\, constrain us\, or set us free. \nIn her review of The Faraway Nearby\, Marina Warner (fairy-tale scholar extraordinaire) says:  \n“Solnit invokes Scheherazade’s enterprise to tell tales to dispel the rage of the Sultan\, and she explicitly sets out to keep at bay the harm and threats and fears she has experienced. Some of her meanderings are geographical (the jungles of Bolivia\, the endless light of summer in Iceland). Others are personal: psychological struggles in her own life recently\, including bitter love for her mother\, who\, like the wicked queen in Snow White\, was envious of her blond\, clever daughter. But with the oncoming vacancy of Alzheimer’s in her mother’s brain\, their strife begins to lessen; Solnit painfully traces the way the parent-child roles reverse and she becomes a mother to her mother. Then she herself is diagnosed with a dangerous disease. It remains unnamed\, while the treatment is examined up close; the faraway nearby also works as a metaphor for her own body\, when it has become an enemy bent on doing her harm.” \nOur meeting will be on Tuesday\, September 27th at 7PM ET! \nTo join us\, make sure you’re on the Willow tier ($7) or higher for the month of September. Look for the link on Patreon closer to the date!

SUMMARY:The August Patreon Fairy-Tale Salon
DESCRIPTION:Hi all! Here is the info for our August Fairy-Tale Salon –  \nDate: August 29th at 7PM ET \nPrompt: Give Us Some Good Folklore-y Things \nQuest: We’re not going to lie\, we’ve been having a rough go of things lately. Between the near constant barrage of bad news\, to a ridiculous number of deadlines\, to our bodies choosing to be especially unruly at the worst of times\, we are just… tired. However\, a few weeks ago we made a blog post about how\, despite all this\, some things still do not suck. There are good things in the world. So\, for your quest this month\, we’re asking you to tell us something GOOD and folklore-y. Maybe it’s a favorite weird tradition you have with your sister\, your good luck charm\, a story you stumbled across in a book one time and then never found again\, or maybe it’s that time you definitely-almost-probably saw a fairy in your backyard. If it has anything at all to do with folklore and makes you feel happy\, we want to hear about it.  \nIf you’d like to participate\, make sure that you’re on the Salonnières tier or higher on Patreon for the month of August – hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:The August Book Club - Moonlight and Vines by Charles de Lint
DESCRIPTION:August Book Club Pick is MOONLIGHT & VINES by Charles de Lint! \n“Newford is the quintessential North American city\, tough and streetwise on the surface and rich with hidden magic for those who can see…” \nWhen we discussed what fantastical realms we’d want to actually visit in our Fairy-Tale Salon\, at least 3 of us said Charles de Lint’s Newford because it feels so livable\, real\, and profoundly magical. Reading his Newford books always makes us feel like we’re slipping on a cozy cardigan and drinking tea…but\, like\, the cardigan was stolen from the fairies and the tea has healing properties. \nMoonlight & Vines is our favorite of de Lint’s short story collections\, and we can’t wait to talk about it with you! His writing blends “Lovecraft’s imagery\, Dunsany’s poetry\, Carroll’s surrealism\, and Alice Hoffman’s small-town strangeness\,” creating “a haunting mixture of human warmth and cold inevitability\, of lessons learned and prices to be paid.” \nOur meeting will be on Monday August 22nd at 7PM ET! \nTo join us\, make sure you support us on Patreon on the Willow tier ($7) or higher for the month of August. Look for the link closer to the date!

SUMMARY:Smithsonian Associates: French Fairy Tales Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Il était une fois… Once upon a time\, fairy tales were not the short\, simple children’s stories we all know. Instead\, they often carried subtle messages or warnings\, or ridiculed powerful figures. These subversive stories were created in 17th-century Paris literary salons\, safe forums for aristocrats—mostly women—to gather and share tales about\, for example\, giant green wyrms\, noble white cats in boots\, and even a woman who dressed as a man in order to save her family. \nThrough the coded language of fairy tales\, in these salons women (and some men) were free to criticize society’s wrongs and to ask questions no one dared ask at court before the king. Writers spun tales that addressed everything from love in marriage and the importance of education to the enormous social inequalities women faced at the time. \nJoin folklorists Sara Cleto and Brittany Warman for a journey into the past to explore the tales of authors such as Madame d’Aulnoy (who coined the term fairy tale)\, Madame de Murat\, and\, yes\, Charles Perrault. Learn how their fairy tales shared subversive messages\, and why they were mostly forgotten while Perrault’s more conventional stories remained popular. \nCleto and Warman also take a deep dive into several tales to find their deeper layers of meaning—and perhaps break the spell that has kept most salon fairy tales obscure for so long. \nClick here to grab your ticket and join us!

SUMMARY:Folklore & Resistance Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Folklore & Resistance Roundtable! \nPanelists: Terri Windling (she/her)\, Dr. Jeana Jorgensen (she/her)\, Dr. Margaret Yocom (she/her)\, Daisy Ahlstone (they/them)\, and Dr. Maria DeBlassie (she/her) \nModerators: Dr. Sara Cleto (she/her) and Dr. Brittany Warman (she/her) of The Carterhaugh School \nDate: Sunday\, July 24th\, 2022 at 2PM ET – note that this event will also be recorded! \nWhere: Zoom \nCost: Free! \n“[S]torytelling [is] a vital human strategy for sustaining a sense of agency in the face of disempowering circumstances. To reconstitute events in a story is no longer to live those events in passivity\, but to actively rework them\, both in dialogue with others and within one’s own imagination.”\n– Michael Jackson\, The Politics of Storytelling  \nIf we know anything\, it’s that folklore – stories\, community\, and the fabric of everyday life – is a powerful\, often untapped force. It can entertain us\, connect us to each other\, and even\, under the right circumstances\, “restore our sense of security\, sanity\, and sense of justice” (Jack Zipes.) \nJoin us on Sunday\, July 24th to see how. \nIt’s been an awful few weeks here in the US. If you’ve felt overwhelmed\, enraged\, or helpless\, we want you to know: you’re not alone. We’ve invited some of our favorite folklorists\, academics\, and creators to speak to you about how folklore can help us find meaning\, resist helplessness\, and take action.  \nWe won’t pretend everything is sunshine and rainbows (it isn’t)\, but we also know that folklore and stories can help us persist. \nDuring this roundtable\, you’ll learn how to harness folklore to move forward when you feel stuck\, to cultivate joy\, and to take concrete actions. \nClick here to register and get the link to join us!

SUMMARY:Profs and Pints: How Mad Scientists Are Made Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Profs and Pints DC presents: “How Mad Scientists are Made\,” a look at monstrous experiments and quests for forbidden knowledge in literature\, folklore\, and film\, with Sara Cleto and Brittany Warman\, former instructors at Ohio State University and co-founders of The Carterhaugh School of Folklore and the Fantastic.  \n“It’s alive!” the Dr. Frankenstein of films exclaimed. And so too was—and remains—one of our culture’s most intriguing tropes\, the figure of the “mad scientist.” \nBut what\, exactly\, does it mean to be a mad scientist? With no university listing “mad science” among its degree programs\, how does one qualify for that title?   \nStep into DC’s Bier Baron Tavern and prepare to learn with the help of Sara Cleto and Brittany Warman\, two favorites of Profs and Pints fans back on the stage for the first time in more than two years. Their talk will be about as much fun as you can have without getting hauled out of chemistry class and expelled from school.  \nThey will look at how\, even before the term “mad scientist” existed\, such figures filled the pages of folklore\, thrillers\, and even fairy tales. These iconic characters’ incessant pursuit of knowledge unites them and dooms them\, reflecting both the innovation and hubris of humankind.   \nDr. Cleto and Dr. Warman will reacquaint you with Dr. Jekyll\, who attempts to perfect himself but instead creates a monstrous double that consumes him\, and Dr. Moreau\, who blurs the line between the human and the animal. You’ll spend time with Watho\, the witch of the fairy tale “The Day Boy and the Night Girl\,” who performs elaborate experiments on children\, and with Dr. Raymond of the novella The Great God Pan\, who attempts to infuse a human body with a god.    \nThough society has advanced and science has progressed since these early figures\, the mad scientist remains a staple of stories that ask “What happens when we go too far?” In the strange and unsettling 1940s novella The Invention of Morel\, a mad scientist attempts immortality via technology at an impossible cost. More recent iterations of the mad scientist can be found in contemporary films like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind\, the movies of the Spiderman franchise\, and even Ghostbusters. \nYou’ll get to know these characters\, as well as others\, in an environment known for pint glasses rather than test tubes.  (Advance tickets: $12. Doors: $15\, save $2 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. Talk starts 30 minutes later. Please allow yourself time to place any orders and get seated and settled in. The Bier Baron will be requiring event attendees to purchase a minimum of two items\, which can be food or beverages\, including soft drinks.) \nClick here to grab your tickets!\nNote that this is a LIVE and IN PERSON event!

SUMMARY:Profs & Pints: Persephone - Goddess of Spring and the Underworld Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Profs and Pints DC presents: “Goddess of Spring and the Underworld\,” an introduction to the Greek goddess Persephone in her many incarnations\, with Sara Cleto and Brittany Warman\, former instructors at Ohio State University and co-founders of the Carterhaugh School of Folklore and the Fantastic. \nSara Cleto and Brittany Warman have earned a huge following among Profs and Pints fans by delivering fantastic talks on folklore\, myths\, legends\, and fantasy. Profs and Pints is ecstatic to announce that\, after a pandemic-inducted hiatus of more than two years\, they’re going to be back on its stage in Washington D.C. \nFittingly\, the first of the two talks they’ll be delivering on June 12th delves into themes of dormancy and reemergence\, by looking at the spring goddess Persephone and the many ways in which she has inspired the human imagination. \nThe story of Hades and Persephone is one of the most famous—and most retold—episodes in Greek mythology. Persephone’s abduction\, her interlude in the Underworld\, and her partial return to the world above have inspired statues and webcomics\, ancient cults and contemporary poetry. Thousands of years after her tale was first told\, we’re still fascinated by this goddess. \nSara and Brittany will discuss how Persephone’s appeal lies in her liminality in being caught between two very different worlds and lives. She represents spring\, renewal\, and rebirth because Earth blooms with her return\, but she’s also the Queen of the Underworld. From a 21st-century perspective\, she’s basically a goth girl adorned with a flower crown. \nThey’ll also look at Persephone’s mythic roots\, including their connections to the Eleusinian Mysteries. And then we’ll dive into some of the ways that Persephone has been revised and retold in recent years\, from the Tony award-winning musical Hadestown to the webcomic Lore Olympus to memes and fairy tales and fashion. \nAfter all\, why be just one thing when you can be the queen of spring and darkness? (Advance tickets: $12. Doors: $15\, save $2 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. Talk starts 30 minutes later. Please allow yourself time to place any orders and get seated and settled in.

SUMMARY:Smithsonian Associates: Hans Christian Andersen: Tales That Enchant and Haunt
DESCRIPTION:Hans Christian Andersen is a name synonymous with fairy tales and a figure who has inspired much speculation and fascination in his readers. His stories have enchanted for more than a century and a half\, from the hilarious (and cuttingly insightful) tale of “The Emperor’s New Clothes” to the beguiling tragedy of “The Little Mermaid.” But who was this eccentric Danish man\, and why have his fairy tales become so canonical? \nFolklorists Sara Cleto and Brittany Warman explore the strange\, sometimes melancholy life of the man whose tales so many would grow to love\, though the recognition he craved often eluded him during his own lifetime. They examine the stories themselves\, including Andersen’s folkloric influences\, motivations\, and even the harsh criticism the works first received. \nThey provide an in-depth discussion of the concept of the literary fairy tale—a subject of significant controversy in folklore studies. They also look at the impact of Andersen’s fairy tales\, paying particular attention to culturally important adaptations such as Disney’s The Little Mermaid and the significant—and lasting—changes its creators chose to make to the tale. \nTheir insights into Andersen’s tales—stories characterized both by extreme beauty and extreme suffering— reveal why his work continues to haunt and dazzle us today. \nClick here to get tickets!

SUMMARY:Charles County Public Library: Folklore Strikes Back Lecture
DESCRIPTION:The Star Wars film franchise has long been called a modern myth. The stories of the series are indebted to traditional narrative forms like myth\, legend\, and fairy tale. Entire folk communities have grown up around it. \nCome join Dr. Sara Cleto and Dr. Brittany Warman\, co-founders of The Carterhaugh School of Folklore and the Fantastic for a fascinating look at how the same scholarly lenses used to study and analyze age-old tales of fairies and dragons and witches can enrich our understanding of the Star Wars franchise and surrounding culture. \nThey’ll look at the old myths that gave rise to the Force as well as the legends that inspired the characters\, and at how fairy-tale plots animate the “galaxy far\, far away.” \nBeyond the folk-narrative connections that move Star Wars to the category of the folkloresque are its cultural impact and the folk communities that have grown up around it. In the decades since the Star Wars movie series premiered at theatres\, it has become a multi-billion-dollar franchise spanning films\, TV series\, theme parks\, novels\, and just about every type of product and merchandise you can imagine. But while Disney now owns the rights to the worlds of Star Wars (and all that merch)\, at the cultural level\, Star Wars belongs to its massive\, global fan base. And this fan base creates its own traditions\, engaging in cosplay\, inventing holidays\, and spinning new galaxies from fans’ own stories. \nSometime soon\, on a computer not far away\, you’ll be able to join this online event and blast off on an amazing scholarly adventure. May the folklore be with you. \nThis event will be presented through Crowdcast. The event is free\, but registration is required\, please click here.
