The Samhain 2024 issue of Hellebore delves into the magic of storytelling and the ways in which stories old and new transport audiences to realms beyond our own while making valuable statements about our reality.
 
This issue of popular zine Hellebore explores the mythology of the British Isles through the lens of storytelling, covering the British landscape in stories, the way in which stories change through retellings and new adaptations, and much more. With articles on contemporary novels such as Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell alongside those on classic tales such as Tam Lin, this zine will captivate those interested in the art of storytelling, and more generally those who are curious about the history of narratives that have shaped the cultural landscape of Britain.
