Once Upon a Hallow's Eve: A Halloween Fairy Tale
by
Sarah Diemer (Goodreads Author)
"Stories often begin with 'Once upon a time,' or 'Once there was--' charming lines that imply a fairy tale. Our story starts with wolves in the woods, and--by degrees--gets worse.

Another short and sweet halloween fairytale. Like the other one I just reviewed by Sarah Diemer, it follows the fairytale tropes of a young girl setting out to help her true love, with the help of several companions. It isn't as long even as the other halloween story, and has less by way of character development -- it's truly a fairytale. It's nice: made me smile.
This tale is short and simply stunning in its beauty. It is the story of a bewitched Dark King and the girl who loves him.
Perhaps, if we are very fortunate, Sarah Diemer will put out an entire anthology or collection of such fairy tales in paperback, so we can curl up with them on an October night. (*Hint, hint* to this very talented author!)

I beg to differ about the "not the charming sort" wording: rather, Once Upon a Hallow's Eve: A Halloween Fairy Tale is very charming.
