I’ve been reading through Disc world as a pallette cleanser between heavier fantasy, and you’ve just reminded me it’s time for the next one. Terry Pratchett is wonderful
Makes sense. The original fey creatures were often way more terrifying than what currently comes to mind when we say “fairy”.
Any movies that go that route? Like hell boy and the like. I love original scary fairy tails.
I love me some fairy tails too.
Alternatively, people’s “real” accounts of Fey encounters are equally terrifying if taken at the perspective of reality.
Pan’s Labryinth comes to mind.
It’s a TV show, but Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell is worth the watch
I read the book but I never watched the show - is it worth?
It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, but I think I remember it being pretty faithful. It’s definitely a good TV show in its own right
Yes. But this is coming from someone who never read the book. I enjoyed the show.
Grimm was a somewhat cheesy cop drama along these lines…
The Other Mother in Coraline is patterned after classic fae, especially in the book.
