SHUCK Issue 6's theme is Beasts. Inside you'll find, among other things, tales of the creatures that we share this fine county with: the Beast of the A1075, The Hateful Thing of Geldeston, the Brave Bishop Beaver of Babingley, The Gildencroft Bogey, Snapdragon, equine entities.
SHUCK is about sharing Norfolk’s wonderful folkloric heritage and how it sits within the wider British folklore story. We wanted to make a zine which shared the stories we loved, but that would also be of interest to people outside Norfolk (apparently they exist, we’ve seen pictures at Magic Lantern shows).
To do this we decide to include traditions, superstitions and witchcraft which, although practiced in Norfolk, are not exclusive to the county. We also wanted to include some practical elements so people can explore these traditions themselves. Have we stressed enough that this is not just a Norfolk zine for Norfolk people? It really isn’t: it’s just got a Norfolk flavour because, as is about to be officially confirmed, we are working from the UK’s Centre of Weird.
