Stephen held the pressure of being the only farmer in the small town of Duskvale on his shoulders. For the past few years, a drought and locust swarm had plagued the town, leaving Stephen's fields desolate and threatening Duskvale's pride and joy: the drinking well. With the cloud of desperation hanging low over the town, Stephen turns to an uncanny group of parasitic, mutant praying mantises to solve his issue for a small price: a place within their meek community.

Sophie is the love of Damien's life, she's kind, funny, caring and beautiful. One Friday, during their weekly trip to the pier to ride the ferris wheel, Damien saves Sophie's life - grabbing hold of her seconds before she plummets to her death. To Damien's horror, he wakes up the next day and it's still Friday. Then the next day, and the next. He's stuck in a none stop barrage of Fridays and nobody around him seems to notice. ***Cover by N30NLIT3Z***

These forgotten fairy tales are updated and retold as a series of short stories filled with magic, mystery, wonder, and more than a little insanity.

It's Halloween and rather than being out with my friends, I'm stuck listening to supposedly scary scary stories at my neighbour's house. The night is a total washout until Matilda tells her story about the Picketty Witch... A collection of short, creepy stories.
