Legend Tripping: A Contemporary Legend Casebook explores the practice of legend tripping, wherein individuals or groups travel to a site where a legend is thought to have taken place. Legend tripping is a common, informal practice, depicted in epics, stories, novels, and film, throughout both contemporary and historical vernacular culture. In this collection, contributors show how legend trips can express humanity’s interest in the frontier between life and death, and the fascination with the possibility of personal contact with the supernatural, or spiritual.

In these stories of her mother, her Aunt Bet, and other women who influenced her, author and storyteller Kathryn Tucker Windham reveals the complexity of Southern women in the days before feminism entered the common vocabulary.

The women she remembers may have been fair, but they certainly were not weak.

Imagine a solitary, unimaginative blind man, comfortable in his role a Caretaker of Harlotte Estates. The place is headed for auction when they find an heir. She finds him a beautiful man, while she fights not to find him as dinner. But he is blind. He should never know that she is a vampire. Life and love take their course, and she slowly, yet accidentally brings him over the line to her side... and her proclivities. How will they ever end this? Another chilling tale by the Storyteller (since 1995)

There was a Blackfoot so important that it boggles the mind to have him buried in obscurity, lost among the wild tales of success and triumph, regardless of how inaccurate. A non-violet leader, a damned good warrior, and not afraid to kill, if he had to. But he was one of the very few who saw the futility of war against the white man. They tried to kill him, to wipe his People from the face of the earth, but he stood resolute and prevailed. And so, the Blackfoot remain unto this day. Fun to research, fun to write, but the truth herein may be stretched, too. Fodder for #TheStoryteller, right?

When most girls were playing with dolls and hoping for boyfriends, she was learning how to detect a short deck, how to set one and how to slip or bottom deal.

With the sudden, violent death of her father, she is thrust out into the world, perhaps too soon, or maybe, just at the right time. Calling on reserves and instincts she did not even know she possesses...

In Path to Zero: 12 Climate Conversations That Changed the World, author Tucker Perkins takes listeners on a series of future-casting journeys from the Year 2050 back to the present day to show us how a better way—a wide path to net zero carbon emissions—was, and can be, achieved in an accelerated time frame.
