Ostara, The Worm Moon & Nature’s Dark Spirits | Interview with Horror Author Kasey Fallon

Spring represents rebirth, growth, and renewal—but in folklore and horror, the return of life can also awaken something darker.

In this episode of Generation X Paranormal, Logan and Nicole sit down with horror author Kasey Fallon to discuss her new book A Terror Triptych: Ostara, releasing March 20th.

Inspired by the pagan spring festival Ostara, Fallon’s latest collection explores the terrifying side of nature’s awakening through three haunting stories:

• Rootbound – when a young woman inherits her family home, she learns the land remembers when it’s neglected.
• Osedax – during the mysterious Worm Moon, something begins to stir beneath the earth.
• Marrowseed – a retreat at the eerie Orchard House offers a chance to change your life… but every wish comes with a price.

We also explore the real folklore and traditions that inspired these stories, including:

• The pagan meaning of Ostara and the spring equinox
• The strange history of the Worm Moon
• Sami folklore and the belief that everything in nature has a spirit
• Whether the land itself can hold memory
• Why horror and folklore are so deeply connected

If you enjoy paranormal investigations, supernatural folklore, horror literature, and the mysteries of nature, this episode is one you won’t want to miss.
