431: Turkish folklore: These Dreams
<div> <p>✨<strong>Cobbler Ahmet just wants to fix shoes</strong>✨</p><p>But his wife wants those sweet, sweet bath reservations, so it looks like he's going to go be the Chief Astrologer to the Sultan. The only problem(s)? He doesn't like astrology, doesn't know how to do it, and starts out by selling his astrology by the side of the highway.</p><p>That's actually the second story, because this week there are two stories of two Ahmets following dreams. On the first is junkman Ahmet, who has the same wonderful dream every night...except when it stops being wonderful, and starts getting real, he learns that sometimes following your dreams can be painful. And also weird.</p><p>😈 <strong>The Creature: Wapaloosie<br></strong><br>If you find you're always misplacing your gloves, they might be actively crawling away from you...because they're made from the fur of a Wapaloosie, a half squirrel, half dachshund, half caterpillar.</p><p>---</p><p>📖 <strong>The Book!</strong></p><p>Myths and Legends has our first book coming out on <strong>December 1st</strong>!

430: Finnish folklore: Worn Out
<div> <p>✏️Osmo is a pretty solid sketch artist✏️</p><p>He’s not drawing a criminal, though. He’s drawing his sister, whose only crime is stealing the prince’s heart. And also maybe trying to escape the prison of the sea king, but that comes later.</p><p>😈 <strong>The Creature: The Jurua<br></strong><br>Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, there’s the jurua who is taking their family out to a nice dinner…of your flesh.

428: Monkey King: The Pride
<h1>🐺Inside each of us there are two wolves. They are named 'Shifty' and 'Freaky'.🐺</h1><div> <p>Which one wins? Well it doesn't matter because they're both demons so maybe try to starve both of them out. Or spit in their faces and steal their name tags, like Sun Wukong does. No wrong answers because, in the world of the Journey to the West, anything goes.</p><p>But for real, we catch back up with Monkey, Sandy, Pigsy, and the Tang Monk on their travels as they enter year 14 and the final leg of their journey. But are they ready for what awaits them?</p><p>😈 <strong>The Creature: Intulo<br></strong><br>An evil walking and talking lizard who just wants to watch the world die.

427: Norse Legends: Wither or Not
<h1>🧙♀️So, you think your stepmom might be a sorceress🧙♀️</h1><div> <p>Common problem. Well, common for fairy tales, at least.
