When the Angel of Death Tells Bedtime Stories
A Collection of Modern Fairytales (Colorful Illustrations)
Colorful Illustrations
Michael, the Angel of Death, is the loneliest of all creatures. No mortal can see or hear the Grim Reaper, and all those he touches must die.
One day, though, a family adopts him as their own Godfather Death. From that day on, Michael tells bedtime stories to their youngest child. These are fairy tales from the angel's ten-thousand-year-old mind, dark, magical, whimsical, and tender.
Told with warmth, wit, and an undercurrent of ancient magic, each story touches upon themes of longing and loneliness, love and sacrifice, courage, loss, and transformation. Whether it's a terrifying Red Snake that feeds on souls or a chicken yard hiding secrets from another world, these fairytales spark the imagination while embracing the beauty of the bittersweet. Those who are grieving or brokenhearted may find strange comfort here.
Perfect for fans of classic fairy tales with teeth, this is a book for adults and teens who enjoy thinking deeply, feeling fully, and treading where others are scared to go.
It's a collection to be read under blankets with a flashlight, or in front of a fireplace, wrapped in the arms of the one you love.
