Terrifying Medieval Tales of
Blood, Lust & Sorcery
Enter the age of mermaids, mages, devils, dragons, chivalry and alchemy. From the macabre mind of W. Michael Lyngstad comes a curated collection of thirteen gruesome tales, each with a terrifying twist, gathered from the libraries of European courts, bard’s songbooks, and local lore. Each nightmare-inducing yarn written with one unifying purpose—to terrify the misbehaving sons and daughters of the highborn at bedtime. Kids, who, unlike our own delicate TikTok-dancing flowers, cut their 5th birthday cake with an axe and sat front row at public flayings to catch the eyeballs.

To Punish Mischievous Children of Noble Birth
What would you do if you were me and, while waiting for your first book to be edited, you wrote another book? And what if that book you wrote between frantic calls from your agent—who was convinced the early drafts hinted at “deep-rooted psychological issues” and begged you to dial down the depravity and violence—was not only AWESOME but WAY more depraved, violent, and alluded to even deeper issues than either of you had thought were possible? Would you sit back and watch as your first book falls 999 places short of the #1 spot on The New York Times Best Seller list? Or would you say “F**k it!” and release the second installment right alongside the first, in what is arguably a blatant, uninspired effort to cross-promote both books and cash in?
Yes.

From the macabre mind of
W. Michael Lyngstad...
Maybe they had been posing the corpses of plague victims inappropriately for the amusement of their friends, or maybe they were caught drinking wine out of father’s codpiece behind the stables again…who knows. What we do know is that as penance for their offending deeds, their wetnurse would have been charged with reading the misbehaving children of nobility a gruesome bedtime story to ensure their few hours of restless sleep would be peppered with horrific, trauma-inducing nightmares. From the macabre mind of W. Michael Lyngstad comes a collection of thirteen gruesome tales with a terrifying twist terrible enough to scare the wayward sons and daughters of the highborn. Kids who, unlike our own delicate flowers, lived in a brutal world with no Snapchat filters and who led armies into bloody combat at the age of fifteen rather than vlogging about who Pete Davidson is dating this week.
I did it again!
