Fireside Chats: Fiction and Folklore with Luke Greensmith

This week, we had the honor of chatting with professional folklorist, Luke Greensmith. He is a horror writer, video game developer, and the mastermind behind the Lukelore podcast. We discussed his unique upbringing in the UK in order to find where his fascinations with horror, fantasy, and folklore come from. This guy is completely fascinating, and we had an amazing time getting to know him. Go support everything that Luke does. You both deserve it.  Campfire: Tales of the Strange and Unsettling is created for adult audiences only. The content and discussion in this show will necessarily engage with various accounts that include violence, anxiety, fear, and occasional body horror. Much of it will be emotionally and intellectually challenging to engage with. We will flag especially graphic or intense content so as to never put you in an uninformed or unprepared position. We will do our best to make this a space where we can engage bravely, empathetically, and thoughtfully with difficult content every week.  This week’s episode includes the following sensitive content: None Check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCsBPbRXnmY&t=182s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iBFES2Frv0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovSKRuc2tGY&t=695s Guest Website:https://www.lukelore.com/ Guest Socials:https://www.instagram.com/lukegreensmithscarybits/ https://www.instagram.com/lukelorepod/ https://www.instagram.com/theghoststoryguys/ Twitter:https://twitter.com/LukeGreensmith Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luke.greensmith.7  Support Us on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/campfiretalesofthestrangeandunsettling Satisfy All of Your Merch Needs:https://www.teepublic.com/stores/campfire-tales-of-the-strange-and-unsettling?ref_id=25702 Join the conversation on social media atwww.campfirepodcastnetwork.com  Discord: https://discord.gg/43CPN3rz Instagram:instagram.com/campfire.tales.podcast GoodPods:https://goodpods.app.link/T0qvGnXnplb Twitter:www.twitter.com/campfiretotsau  Facebook:www.facebook.com/campfire.tales.podcast Visit Our Linktree for Any and All Campfire Info: https://linktr.ee/Campfirepodcast Special Thanks: Gregg Martin for music contributions!
