Rune Alger is an independent researcher and author specializing in the intersections of folklore, literature, psychology, and cultural evolution.His work investigates how mythic and literary archetypes, particularly heroes, monsters and supernatural figures, serve as symbolic lenses for understanding psychological traits, societal power dynamics, and cultural change over time.Trained as a data analyst and engineer, he approaches cultural research with analytical precision, identifying recurring patterns across centuries of myth and literature while grounding interpretations in historical, psychological, and sociological evidence.He lives and works in Eagle, Idaho, where the rugged beauty of the Boise River foothills and the region's layered history of frontier mythology provide both solitude for reflection and a living connection to humanity's enduring relationship with story and place.Check out his latest work:
