The Even Ash

The Even Ash is a dark Yorkshire folk tale of Mother Greenwood, a travelling herb-woman who sells simples at country fairs and offers lonely girls an old love charm. But the ash does not promise kindness, safety, or happiness. It answers only the words spoken, and four girls learn that the first single man to draw nigh may be something far stranger than a true love.If you enjoy Edvane Stories, please follow the podcast — a new dark fiction story every Saturday, and following helps new listeners find the show.Read it at Edvane StoriesFollow Jonathan B.
