The Space Between: Folklore, Belief, and the Nature of Experience - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Most people think folklore belongs to the past.

Old stories. Distant places. Traditions carried forward from another time.

But folklore is not something we inherit.
It is something we continue to create.

In The Space Between, V.W. Strange explores how ordinary experiences become extraordinary beliefs. Through an examination of perception, memory, uncertainty, and social influence, this book reveals the hidden processes that turn moments into stories—and stories into something that feels undeniably real.

Why do two people experience the same event differently?
Why do some narratives spread while others disappear?
Why do certain beliefs persist, even when they resist explanation?

The answers do not lie in the stories themselves.

They lie in the space between what we experience…
and what we come to believe.
