New Book! The Voice of Death: The Darker Side of Fairy Tales
My book of Folk & Fairy Tales with 22 original pen & ink illustrations. Description:
“Explore the shadowy side of Folk & Fairy Tales in this anthology, delving into tales that include Devils, Ogres, Witches, & Giants. This collection comprises both lesser-known dark narratives from literary history and timeless classics such as Briar Rose and Little Red Riding Hood.
In the title story, the mysterious Voice of Death beckons townspeople to their doom. In another tale, a fisherman gives up his soul to pursue a mermaid he loves. In The Red Shoes, a girl puts on a pair of enchanted red shoes that force her to dance uncontrollably. Each Folk & Fairy Tale feature an element of the dark and macabre. Some of the stories end in tragedy and others conclude with happy fairy tale ending.
Each of the nineteen stories is accompanied by a unique pen and ink illustration created by artist Jym Davis, who not only provided the artwork but also curated the selected tales. This book includes selections from the collected volumes of The Brothers Grimm, Lang's Rainbow Fairy Books, and the original fairy tales of Oscar Wilde and Hans Christian Andersen.”
