Wednesday Writing Prompt - Folklore & Dark Fairy Tales

[earthspirits]

 

 

 

 

Folklore and the original fairy tale sources could be very dark, many with true horror elements.

There's nothing sweet or innocent about these old stories.

Every Wednesday, we'll post a folklore, fairy tale, or literary quote to jumpstart your vampiric muse.

 

Please post your Dracula / Nosferatu inspired fic as a stand-alone in the community, and use the header below (or similar). And please put your story behind a cut.

"By the itching of her palm the young Witch knew his coming, and she laughed and let down her red hair. With her red hair falling around her, she stood at the opening of the cave, and in her hand she had a spray of wild hemlock that was blossoming." - Oscar Wilde: The Fisherman and His Soul
