Andersen's Fairy Tales: Short Stories for Bedtime

[Cthulhu] [Dark Fairy Tales] [No Romance] [Chilling on Reflection] [Fairy tales? These are terrifying parables from before humanity’s destruction!] When familiar fairy tales become incantations summoning evil gods, every precious childhood memory of yours will become your deepest fear! The Little Mermaid, Ailiya, wakes in a palace of flesh and discovers she is the “pure vessel” offered by the Deep Ones to the Old Gods... The Little Match Girl, Aila, lights a flame and sees the whole town’s residents turned into “bonds,” while her father grips the sacrificial knife... The Ugly Duckling struggles to survive in a swamp. What awaits it is no swan lake, but an altar... Princess and the Pea, Isabela, arrives at the castle only to uncover the bloody truth: the royal family stole the power of the Ancient Gods and has spent a thousand years imprisoning a “living gate”... Every stitch in Eliza’s nettle shirt, from The Wild Swans, sews in her brothers’ mutated limbs and their mad whispers... The tinderbox does not spark warmth, but “Guardians” that tear reality apart. They are gnawing at their owner’s soul... The boy Li Wei rides a bronze pig and plunges into an eternal furnace powered by the heart of an Ancient God, where a countdown to humanity’s extinction hangs overhead... [Warning] This isn’t a retelling of fairy tales. It’s a SAN-level destroyer! Cthulhu Mythos meets dark fairy tales, delivering the ultimate horror that will overturn everything you know! “The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown...” Adapted from H. P. Lovecraft
