About this Event
About the Book: Tapping into the resurgence of interest in mythology and illustrated with 100 linocut-style artworks, this contemporary, cool and highly desirable collection of North American folktales has standout visual appeal. This beautifully illustrated book offers scary legends and folklore from Canada to Mexico and from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast, including Native American tales, settlers’ stories and African-American legends, as well as ghost stories and modern tales of cryptids and aliens and a few urban legends.
About the Author: Mike Bass grew up in a house with spirits and has always been fascinated by myths, folklore and the supernatural. He is a print maker, folklorist and storyteller who loves hearing a good tale as much as telling one. In his art, he combines ink and pencil drawings with printed textures to create minimally layered illustrations with rough lines and simple and opaque palettes that works well with the folkloric subjects. He owns, with his wife, the Zip-Dang shop in Madison and is the author of the Folklore Oracle
