Folklore and Short Stories


KG Mach writes a brand of fiction she calls ‘reimagined folklore.’ What does that mean? Well,… think of a fractured fairy tale. Some stories have recognizable characters and themes while others may feel completely new. Reimagined folklore has the style and feel of folklore but with a new ‘spin and twist’ of the wheel.
