Line 72:
* A late issue of ''[[Shade the Changing Man]]'' focuses on a group of actors filming the type of Disneyfied, Bowdlerized fairy tale made for children, shot on location in Ireland. They get together at a pub to express contempt for the film and the irresistible amounts of money that compelled them to take part in it, and the older Irish natives talk about the terror and brutality of the ''real'' fairy tales they grew up with. When Shade arrives and enters a fairy ring, his madness amplifies the effect across the entire country, with results deadly and deranging. The madstorm also wipes out the entire film production, to the relief of the surviving actors.
* The Fair Folk pop up from time to time in [[Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose|Tarot]], although the miniature pixies/goblins are more common. Notably, they don't seem to have any of the weaknesses listed at the beginning of this article.
* In the backstory of ''[[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen]]'', it's revealed that not only did the Fair Folk exist in Britain with their own realm, but said realm was even united with England under [[The Faerie Queene]] for a time. Later on however, the Puritans under Cromwell led a great purge, wiping out most of the Fair Folk and driving those who survived away from the human world forever.
