About

Scarfolk Council is an alternate reality website which presents itself as the official blog of Scarfolk, a fictional town located in North West England where time has ceased to pass beyond the year 1979. Since its launch in February 2013, the blog has ran a series of elaborately designed vintage product advertisements, book covers and public service announcements that are truly reminiscent of an authentic, small-town community in England during the 1970s, albeit with some dark and mysterious elements that suggest otherwise.

History

The Scarfolk Council Blog[1] was created on February 4th, 2013, by Richard Littler. The first post published, titled "Practical Witchcraft Today," features the cover of fictional vintage book titled Practical Witchcraft Today: How to Hurt People.

3'6 Penguin Guides Practical Witchcraft Today How To Hurt People

The description of the blog, included underneath the title reads:

"Scarfolk is a town in North West England that did not progress beyond 1979. Instead, the entire decade of the 1970s loops ad infinitum. Here in Scarfolk, pagan rituals blend seamlessly with science; hauntology is a compulsory subject at school, and everyone must be in bed by 8pm because they are perpetually running a slight fever. "Visit Scarfolk today. Our number one priority is keeping rabies at bay." For more information please reread."

A book based on the blog titled Discovering Scarfolk will be released in the fall of 2014.
