All Hallows' Eve is the time of the year when we gather round the fire and tell the most horrific and frightening stories. And how much more horrific and frightening those stories might get if they used to be... fairytales and children's stories?

Four new short stories, with familiar elements, characters and plots, yet a little bit twisted. That's the treat!

Get ready to have your childhood ruined y'all! That's the trick!

Oh! And have yourselves a happy Halloween!
Somethin' pumpkin this way comes!

To Kill a Witch (ONC 2024 SHORTLIST)

15 parts Complete

Stories say that the Witch rained curses down on Devil's Corner, that she made the woods grow strange and wild, made shadows leap and dance and snatch up stray children for supper. In a small town on the edge of a dangerous forest, stories are never in short supply, and they are held dearer than truth. Thea lost her hand to the things that live in the wood, and she can't shake loose the voice that lured her there. But her Pa fed her tales of magic and heroes, and promises that even the darkest things have hearts. When her brother is attacked by the Witch's gruesome creations, Thea breaks into her cottage, determined to save him from a fate she knows all to well. Because in Devil's Corner, stories are true, and Thea knows the greatest one of all: the only way to break a curse, is to kill the witch. --- COMPLETE - 20,000 words Written for Wattpad's 2024 Open Novella Contest.
