Description

Would you befriend death to save a life?

A dark, magical collection of stories for curious young readers who aren’t afraid of the shadows.

The Angel of Death and Other Stories is a rich fantasy anthology perfect for older children and teens who crave adventure with a twist of the eerie and the extraordinary. These aren’t your usual bedtime tales.

Here, dragons have two heads and conflicting tempers. Souls are fragile treasures, collected by a young, reluctant Angel of Death. A girl named Fanny befriends the unimaginable and challenges the boundaries between dream and reality.

Told with warmth, wit, and an undercurrent of ancient magic, each story explores themes of bravery, loss, transformation, and the invisible threads that bind us to one another. Whether it’s a terrifying Red Snake that feeds on souls or a chicken yard hiding secrets from another world, these stories spark the imagination while embracing the beauty of the bittersweet.

Perfect for fans of classic fairy tales with teeth, this is a book for children who enjoy thinking deeply, feeling fully, and wandering where others won’t.

A collection to be read under blankets with a flashlight—or aloud by a grown-up who isn’t easily spooked.
