This Grimm's tale again has little to recommend it from a feminist standpoint, so I won't. However I think it's my third story in a row where I get to use my beheading sound effect and the first time I've added a dash of Bossa Nova as well as a celtic folk song snippet!

Happy Halloween you lovely creepy people!

If you like this podcast, pretty please write me a review! xxo 

Whether it's a telltale blue beard, horns, webbed hands or whatever...listen to your intuition. Sometimes there's more to a rave in the countryside than meets the eye.

This classic Hans Christian Anderson Folk Tale is certainly darker than I remember. What's with all the stealing the sleeping princess? Not to mention feeding her family to the dogs...enjoy.

Season Two begins with some pretty harsh treatment of horses and self inflicted punishments.

Not for the squeamish! Or kids...definitely not for kids.

The second season of Dark and Twisty Tales is releasing at midnight in California! Be there or miss out! lol.

Thank you SO much for listening and tolerating my madness. xoxo

This story has it all, beheadings, cannibalism, and my favorite, deep appreciation of a good dark folk song. Enjoy and I'll see you all again in September when the nights start drawing in.

This story was suggested by Rose Lewis. Excellent choice Rose! I hope I did it justice :)

Death! What an excellent choice! What could possibly go wrong?

About a boozy cook who dupes her master after she's eaten dinner for two! No carving knives necessary.
