Wednesday Writing Prompt - Folklore, Literary, & 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.
Literature is also rich with horror motifs.

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.

Ah, I have one for this! But am only getting so far before it becomes rubbish. Will keep trying!

I wish! But try as I might, this one just doesn’t seem to be working. Excellent prompt though!
