118: High Quality Nasty Horse Stories

1 hour 22 minutes

The Legend of the Chinese Zodiac & The Girl with the Horse’s Head/The Silkworm Goddess & The Fiddler in Hell

Happy Lunar New Year! Abbie celebrates the onset of the Year of the Horse (her people!) with telling the tale of how the Chinese Zodiac came to be in the first place, followed up with a timeless horse trope here on Fairy Tale Fix with The Girl With The Horse’s Head (another excellent Chinese fairy tale). Kelsey follows up with another great FTF staple involving rich people being in hell: The Fiddler in Hell.
