“These stories aren’t about horror for horror’s sake. They’re about how children truly see the world—alive with mystery, shadow, and the quiet thrill that magic and menace can coexist just beyond the edge of the nightlight.” ~ Randolph B. Schiffer

New Release: BEDTIME STORIES THAT WILL TERRIFY CHILDREN

“Children already understand that darkness holds both danger and wonder. What they want from stories isn’t to be shielded from fear, but to find fairness within it—a sense that, even in the strangest tale, there’s meaning beneath the mystery.”

~ Randolph B. Schiffer

Told in the flickering voice of an aging narrator remembering the tales his father once whispered to him and his brother, this haunting collection confronts childhood fears with sharp wit and quiet terror.

A dog that might be a monster.

A squirrel that guards the door between worlds.

A red plant that eats what it pleases.

THIS IS BEDTIME FOR GROWNUPS

This is bedtime for grownups.

And the monsters are real — because they live in memory.

8 Collectable Stories & Covers

Each of the eight stories in Bedtime Stories to Terrify Children: ... and keep them awake all night longDog, Lion, Monkey, Plant, Squirrel, Beast, Bear, and Sturgeon—is also being released as an individual collectible edition throughout the year, just as my father once shared them with my brother and me.

The individual stories features a unique cover variation inspired by the original design, creating a continuous visual thread across the series, and inside, each contains its own interior illustration.

Together, these limited editions form a complete visual and literary cycle—each book able to stand alone, yet richer when gathered as a set.

Collect them individually or as a full collection to experience the stories as they were meant to be told—through light, shadow, and the echoes of a father’s candlelit voice.
