Fairytales for a Modern Age: Book 1

By C.R. Beaumont

Fairy Tales for a Modern Age is a hauntingly beautiful anthology of original fables that channel the shadowed wonder of the Brothers Grimm, the moral fire of Andersen, and the lyrical strangeness of forgotten folklore. Each tale unearths timeless truths buried beneath the surface of modern life-revealing greed in gilded halls, cowardice in shining armor, and justice in the hands of ghosts, shepherds, and cursed kings.

From "The Mill That Ground Out Ghosts", where industry meets the supernatural, to "The Avenger's Tears", a warrior's lament soaked in blood and sorrow, these stories walk the line between the magical and the melancholic. Whether it's a spoiled heir learning the hollow weight of wealth, or a lazy king entangled in his own creeping curse, each parable offers not just enchantment-but reckoning.

Told in the voice of myth but with a gaze fixed firmly on the failings of today's world, this collection weaves moral clarity with gothic imagery, painting cautionary tales in the hues of twilight, rust, and ruin.
