Dr. Blythe's Lost Library

Welcome to the Lost Library.
I’m Dr. Christopher James Blythe, a professor of folklore and myth at Brigham Young University, and this is where strange ideas, forgotten texts, and living traditions meet. Drawing on more than twenty years of research, I explore folklore, the supernatural, esotericism, apocrypha, new religious movements, and Latter-day Saint culture.

Expect stories from the field, adventures in ethnography, and thoughtful conversation about what we find—when we dare to open the archive.
