Imagine picking up what looks like a children’s book—only to find stories packed with fascism, murder, rebellion, and absurd humor. That’s The Rumpleville Chronicles—a twisted, illustrated series by award-winning filmmaker, musician, and author Cevin Soling. There aren’t bedtime tales. They’re smart, subversive, and meant for adults who enjoy satire, dark laughs, and moral commentary wrapped in carnage. Soling skewers fascists, Marxists, Hollywood, and even “follow your dreams” platitudes with fairytale-style stories that turn cultural myths upside down.
