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.

earthspiritsInspired by my own prompt: Ellen / Orlok: Danse Macabre - the bloody shoes that never come off.
I always thought the stories of Hans Christian Andersen, the Brothers Grimm and various folk tales were more horror than anything else. With that in mind, I created this cross-over, an Orlok fairy tale, as it were. There's elements of several fairy tales here, although "The Red Shoes" is the main inspiration. This dark little fic serves as an "interlude" to my AU Albin von Franz / Ellen Hutter series.
Title: Blood Dance - Interlude 2
Warnings / Triggers: Quite a few, as this is from Orlok's point of view. Dubious consent / abusive behavior, implied assault, references to sexual activity + violence, murder / death and blood.Title: Blood Dance - Interlude 2
Fandom: Nosferatu 2024
Characters: Count Orlok, Ellen Hutter, Original Character
Word Count: 591Summary: Ellen was not Orlok's first obsession. Once upon a time, there'd been another.
