THE DEBUT COLLECTION
Dark Tales of
Magic and Madness
AVAILABLE NOW!
The stories you remember were never quite this dark.
Familiar fairy tales, folklore, nursery rhymes, and literary classics are reimagined through modern fears, complicated characters, and unexpected perspectives.
From Humpty Dumpty recast through the shadow of Jack the Ripper to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde reframed through the fear of losing yourself to the very thing meant to quiet your mind, Dark Tales of Magic and Madness finds something unsettling hiding inside the stories we thought we knew.
Old tales. New shadows. No promise of happily ever after.
Three familiar stories.
Three fractured minds.
INSIDE THE COLLECTION
Fairy tales, nursery rhymes, and literary classics are cracked open and reassembled through obsession, fear, anxiety, and madness. Meet three of the voices waiting inside Dark Tales of Magic and Madness.
Humphrey Dunn
Nursery rhyme becomes nightmare.
A familiar fall takes a darker turn through the gaslit streets of Whitechapel, where madness, murder, and a fractured mind blur together.
Inspired by “Humpty Dumpty.”
Mr. Hyde
What if becoming better means losing yourself?
You want the fear to quiet. But what if silencing the darkness means silencing part of yourself, too?
Inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson’s Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
The Alluring Rapunzel
Perhaps the tower wasn’t the strangest part of the story.
A prince wandering alone through the woods finds a woman imprisoned in a tower with no doors and decides, quite reasonably, that climbing her hair is the obvious solution.
Some beautiful things are designed to lure you closer.
Not every fairy tale survives the retelling.
