This week I'm speaking to Chris Spalton, author of 'Apparitions of East Anglia' as well as 'The Eelman Chronicles'.
We touch on subjects such as the inherent Lovecraftian nature of the East of England, necromantic trousers, and of course, the folklore we grew up with as fen folk.
Chris Spalton is a multi-discplinary creative currently living in Norfolk after growing up in the fens, where he absorbed an interest in the weird and spooky from immersing himself in the land.
Having started his self publishing journey with his true story graphic novel 'The Eelman Chronicles', his latest book 'Apparitions of East Anglia' delves into folklore, and weird history from this oft neglected region. Shortlisted for the East Anglia Book of the year 2021, he has strived with this project to continue the tradition of passing folktales down through the generations but with a focus on making the content accessible and engaging for both the casual browser and folklore fan alike.
Aside from his books, Chris is also a music video creator, cartoon artist, UX designer and conference speaker, alongside being a huge underground music fan, with all of his interests combining to produce all sorts of creative outputs.
