Looking for less merry and more macabre in your Yuletide stories? Liz Gotauco AKA Cosbrarian is here to help! By day Liz is the children's librarian at Cumberland Public Library, but by night she is a storyteller for adults, best known for her comedic series "F*cked Up Fairy Tales" on TikTok. With a passion for strong women leads, marginalized voices, salacious stories, and surprising plot elements, Liz reminds grown-ups to take a break and imagine.

We hope you enjoy this collection of eerie stories from around the world, sure to put an extra chill in even the darkest winter night.
