France, 1985. In the forests of Brittany, something dark is stirring. Women are going missing, turning up dead, with no clue as to what’s happened. But that’s not the strangest part. Because before dying, they’ve given birth. Only, when they disappeared a month previously, they weren’t pregnant. It’s enough to catch Aicha’s attention and she drags Paul off to the north, to find out the truth behind the women’s disappearances. But what they discover is beyond anything they could ever have expected. Like something straight out of a fairy tale. With all the darkness and horror that contains.

Brianna Rossa and Leonardo Dormire had known for some time they were crazy about one another, regardless of the feud between their families. Yet, nothing was going to stop them from seeing one another, not even a curse that was put on Brianna before she was born. Cipriano Rossa and Giovanni Dormire were best friends in college; however, over time they became competitive with one another in the game of gangster versus gangster.

In this, the final volume of the Fables and Fantasies collections, we have a number of dark tales: a twisted version of an old fairy tale, a fantastic ride that does not end where the rider thought, horrible creatures from a legendary world of monstrosity, a terrifying clown in a macabre fantasy setting, and a hunt where the tables are turned by a creature of myth. These fantasies remind us that evil things can lurk in the dark, and our choices should keep us on lighted paths.
