Fables for the Dying A project of The Other Folk This project is believed to be defunct. (May 2024) About We want horror that means something--a moral, a lesson, a life-shattering realization, a meditation on the thing that most frightens and unsettles you. In other words, FftD will happily champion thoughtful horror, especially when crafted with attention to language, character, and imagery.
