The Boy Who Fed his Parents to a Monster and Other Stories

In this collection of bizarre and inexplicable tales, author Simon Skullwright explores the world according to quirky, intelligent children who experience things that others do not. Children who read and understand deeply. Children who suffer loss and injustice yet find the strength to carry on. Children with unique views on the world who must fight to maintain them in the face of adult ignorance.

The Tale of a Wicked Stepsister – coming soon

In the crumbling, crooked streets of Ferrovia—where ancient machines whisper and fairy tales rot—magic is a dead myth, or so everyone says. But when spiteful Elthred runs away from her twisted home, she uncovers more than just freedom. Guided by a trail of cryptic, rhyming prophecies, she stumbles into the ruins of an ancient crime, dark secrets masquerading as ancient myths, and the terrifying truth that her unbearably cruel mother might actually be the wicked witch of legend.

The Tale of a Wicked Stepsister is a darkly satirical, gothic spin on the Brothers Grimm’s “The Three Dwarves”—a tale of twisted destinies, mistaken monsters, and the magic that thrives where no one dares to look.
