![]() ![]() Ramsey Campbell is a titan of the horror genre whose writing career spans more than 50 years. ![]() Under all of that Disney glamour, fairies are pretty damn scary (and Disney should capitalize on that, I would love to own Child Stealer Tinkerbell with Wooden Fetch accessory.) And sometimes, just sometimes, a horror author will take advantage of that. ![]() Most famously, they steal children and leave enchanted fetches or their own inhuman children in their place. They spirit men and women away to dance night after night until they waste away and die. They delight in leading travelers astray and ensorcelling them with faerie food so they can never go home. It’s also nothing at all like real fairies. It’s all very cute and safe and markets beautifully to girls ages 3-12. By Disney has taught me anything, it’s that fairies are adorable, little, winged creatures that flit around blessing princesses, making children fly, and going on exciting woodland adventures. ![]()
