Weird and Wondrous Tales of Woodland Wyre

About the Book

Once upon a time there lived a little ghoul with long golden hair, for reason her name was Ghouldilocks. Now this dear little ghoul lived in the denseness of the enchanted petrified forest of Woodland Wyre. And although her mummy often cautioned her of the dangers of the outside world, she was still a rather curious little ghoul, as real little ghouls sometimes are. So on the morning of this story of the lives of the inhabitants of Woodland Wyre, we find Ghouldilocks, naive and innocent of the ways of the outside world, but with childlike curiosity, merrily floating away from the petrified forest. She had, of course, been warned many times of the great good fairy who lived outside of the forest. If Ghouldilocks should ever fall under the good fairy's spell, she would be immediately and forever horribly transformed into a good little “girl.” Of all these things, little Ghouldilocks was well aware, but yet as innocent as she was, she went forth into the Never-Never land of outside Woodland Wyre. Near to where little Ghouldilocks was skipping and floating merrily along, there was the home of the three grisly bears. Mama Bear had just prepared a tempting pot of porridge which she had set before her family. Imagine your favorite fabled characters as they morph into outlandish hobgoblins and ghouls of the night. From Goldilocks to Ghouldilocks and Little Red Riding Hood to Little Blood Redding Hood, these tales unfold into curious and haunting stories. Read Weird and Wondrous Tales of Woodland Wyre only by daylight, for upon the fall of nighttime, when the moon is dark, perhaps the reader will morph as well.
