On this very special episode of Three Ravens, Eleanor and Martin read seven runner-up entries from our recent Folky Flash Fiction writing competition.
Picked from dozens of pieces sent in from all over the world, the Runners-Up are, in no particular order, Erik with "The Gloucester Ghoul", Libby with "5 College Street, York," Mervyn with "The Lord of the Forest," Viv with "Silent Sith," Michelle with "Winter’s Ghost," Estella with "The Weeping Willow" and Ian with "The Knock."
Thank you so much to everyone who entered, we really hope you enjoy our readings of the stories, and well done to all seven of the runners-up!
And next week, the winners...
The Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.
Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...
