Issue #8 of enduringly popular Weird Walk places folk horror, and folk customs new and old into the spotlight.
 
This issue highlights the current fascination with folk customs and folklore, and the ways in which these human activities and imaginings intersect with the landscape. Some of the articles included detail how surging interests in folk customs like Morris Dancing (and its newer sibling custom, Dusking) indicate a renewed investment in community connections based on locality and landscape. Other pieces draw connections between human life and the natural world through demonstrating mirroring between people and wildlife in areas they share.
