Mr. Graves' Bedtime Tales - Episode 1: The Candymaker's Daughter

Welcome, curious soul. The Tattered Book has opened to Page 39 once more - but tonight, something has shifted. The pages have rearranged themselves. The ink moves differently in the moonlight.Tonight, we enter Mr. Graves' Bedtime Tales.You've heard his name before, whispered in warnings and bedtime stories. But now... now we hear HIS voice. In the cemetery, after midnight, when the church bells fall silent and the newly buried cannot sleep, Mr. Graves tends to the children who rest beneath the ground. He sits beside the small graves and tells them stories. Dark stories. Stories to help them sleep.This is where those tales live.The Candymaker's DaughterLittle Sarah is restless on her first night in the earth. The satin coffin is strange. The darkness is absolute. Sleep will not come.So Mr. Graves tells her a story: of a candymaker's daughter made entirely of sugar, who learned that sweetness can be the cruelest gift of all. Of bartered treats and terrible exchanges. Of children who became confections, and confections that remembered being children.Some stories are lullabies. Some are warnings. This one is both.🎧 Listen on Your Favourite Platform (Tales of the Tattered Book):→ Spotify → Apple Podcasts → YouTube📚 About Mr. Graves' Bedtime Tales:This is a new chapter within Page 39 of the Tattered Book.
