Discover a storehouse of tales gathered specifically for the reader of the fantastic.

Notă biografică

Nathan Young (introduction) completed his master’s degree in Turkish Folklore at Ege University in Izmir, Turkey (2014) and his PhD in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures at the Ohio State University (2020). Based on ethnographic fieldwork at several locations in Turkey, his dissertation evaluated how notions of the ‘Turkish village’ shape personal and national identity. His current research considers nostalgic visions of Turkish history that will accompany Turkey’s 2023 centennial celebrations. He is presently a lecturer at the Ohio State University.
