Publisher's Summary

Make sure the kids aren’t around! Just because you’re a grown-up doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the art of the children’s bedtime story. Nick Offerman presents this collection of 15 short stories written in the style of a classic kid’s tale, but with a decidedly dark and adult approach. 

What really happened after Snow White died, from the perspective of the one medically trained dwarf? A naive wizard professor reports back from the trenches of an underprivileged school of magic. A middle age man is haunted by the voices of his own aging body. 

The stories will make you laugh, cry and probably squirm a little. All performed by actors like Patrick Stewart, Alia Shawkat, Elliot Page, Mike Birbiglia, and many more.

Allow Continuous Play

I really like the episode idea, but please make it so you can continuously listen to one episode aftet another. Hands free is so much better while driving.

Virtue Signalling Nonsense....

This was horrible to try to listen to. While I was OK with one of the stories, most of what I heard was politically correct nonsense. The Evangelical Hollywood Left needs to stop or it will destroy any credibility it has left. Time to move on, boys and girls. Go and listen to Mikail Bulgakov, Mark Twain, Jane Austen, or some other real literature and leave this junk behind.

Funny, great musi

Funny. Weird. I really, really love the music though. It reminds me of Trent Reznor's piano playing.

these are unbelievably entertaining!!!

I have a great time listening to these while hiking. i laugh out loud and scare the woodland creatures, which seems somehow appropriate! these fractured fairy tales are wonderful. nice to get such high quality member perks!

Humorous and delightfully strange.

The variety is great! These short stories are ridiculous in all the best ways, quick easy and satisfying!
