86. Nick Redfern // Slenderman, Tulpamancy, HP Lovecraft, Chaos Magick & the Internet Monster
Nick Redfern makes his way into the house for the first time. Nick is the author of damn near 50 books on various paranormal and fortean topics, and we’ll be chatting be about one of his latest books, The Slenderman Mysteries: An Internet Urban Legend Comes to Life.
If you’re not familiar with the Slenderman phenomenon, be prepared to get familiar, because we’re gonna give you all the crazy details of it, as well as take some detours into the worlds of HP Lovecraft, Alexandra David-Neel, Dion Fortune, Aleister Crowley and Coast to Coast AM, and we’ll touch on some Slenderman-type mythos from before Slendy himself was even a meme.
But for now, grab some popcorn and maybe a flashlight and let's venture through the wooded recesses of the Internet mind with the paranormal’s most prolific private eye, Mr. Nick Redfern.
