Twilight WorkshopHorror tales
When I tell tales in the evenings, I record them on my phone, and when I don't have the energy to tell one - I let the kids listen to the old ones. It's very convenient, and besides, maybe they will survive and become a beautiful memory of childhood.
Only, now that the kids have grown a bit, and the sun barely sets outside, they want scarier tales. Noble knights and sweet spiders are fun on a cold autumn day, but now, it seems, they crave monsters wandering the woods and gnawed little bones.
Well, who am I to argue with them (yes, sarcasm). So there will be more scary tales here too. If you read to children - be careful when you see the tag "horror" - read it yourself first.
Are they too scary - maybe - but I think all children (and adults) are very different, and a tale can be told in very different ways. In my opinion, a tale told in a cozy little room will feel distant, not so scary - it will only make curling up in bed cozier. But when you're sleeping in a tent in the forest, old pines rustling nearby, wild boars and badgers roaming among the shadows... telling them there, the situation might turn out rather poorly.
