In the mood for a story? Join me as I read old forgotten fairytales, ghost stories, full books, and other creepy classics. Make yourself comfy and cozy, summon your familiars, and quiet your mind for a soft spoken story time! It's spooky yet soothing. Sweet dreams and stay spooky friends, fiends, and night owl supremes!
Is this perhaps the most gruesome fairytale, even for the Brothers Grimm? As far as macabre old stories go, is very much in the same vein as Bluebeard, although with a lot more murders in this murderous den!
The girl looked up and saw that the voice came from a bird hanging in a cage on the wall. Again it cried:
‘Turn back, turn back, young maiden fair,
Linger not in this murderers’ lair.’
