Perhaps they'd been discovered posing the corpses of plague victims inappropriately for the amusement of their friends, or caught once more sipping wine from father's codpiece behind the stables; who can say? What is certain is that, as penance for their misdeeds, the misbehaving children of nobility would have been subjected to the reading of a gruesome bedtime tale-one calculated to lace their fleeting slumber with ghastly, soul-twisting nightmares.

From the deliciously dark imagination of W. Michael Lyngstad comes a hand-picked collection of fourteen poetic tales of murky mayhem; each with a twist dreadful enough to terrify even the most hardened offspring of medieval aristocracy: tough kids who roasted marshmallows at witch burnings and lived in a brutal world of war, pestilence, and no Instagram filters.
