This was a perfect buildup of dread and horror, and the resignation was lovely. Any other tales you might have to share I would be honoured to read (or beta if you need another). Thank you so much for posting this, you needn't worry about sharing anything else, you are a brilliant:)

I am going to go thought all my mythology/folk and faerietales now, just so you know;)Bluebeard was always one of my favourites, I do love the dark.
