Clara inherits her old aunts’ house and with it the responsibility to feed “the demon” in the well. Clara doesn’t believe in demons, or witches, or magic of any kind—until she drops her pearl necklace into the well and, to her astonishment, a voice from the deep says that she can have them back if he can eat by her table and sleep in her bed.

Whoever it was chuckled. “I do not believe this is the time to reveal my identity to you,” the raspy voice said. “But I do see your pretty pearls down here. Would you like to get them back?”

“Yes,” Clara cried, though her hands were shivering, her mouth felt dry. “Yes, please,” she repeated in a slightly less high-pitched voice. A fortune down there, a goddamn fortune!

“That can be accomplished,” the stranger in the well replied, “on certain conditions….”

“Which are?”

“That I shall eat by your table and sleep in your bed.”

Clara was speechless. Was he making fun of her?

“What is your answer?” It sounded from the well.

He was definitely messing with her.

“Pearls first,” she said, in a voice that didn’t quite carry.

The person down there chuckled again. “You do not trust me, then? Very well. I will come to your house with the pearls this night. And then you will have to let me in.”

Wicked Fairy Tales – Anthology

An anthology of bedtime stories for adults!

Just what kind of happy goes into “happily ever after?” As children, it was enough that Pinocchio got to be a real boy and that Red wasn’t eaten by the wolf. As adults, we have a slightly different perspective. Being a real boy means having boy parts, and being eaten by someone big and bad doesn’t mean quite the same thing it once did.

Ever wonder what mermaids do with the swimmers they seduce? Or why a dragon might prefer a castle-guarded princess to a nice, easy field of sheep? What if your fairy godmother wasn’t circumspect in what wishes could be granted, or if that dainty little fairy had a much bigger appetite than one might guess?
