What do endless wine, Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak, and YuGiOh have in common? If you pictured a very tipsy Harry Potter wearing the invisibility cloak and dueling Seto Kaiba… you’d be mistaken. Let’s gets weirder than that! Add in catastrophic wishes, a horse that can climb anything in the world, map-obsessed giants, enchanted artifacts, and an old reclusive woman who routinely drugs any house guest she has… and we’ve got ourselves a very dark and twisted centuries-old tale! And of course, it’s even creepier when you stare too deeply into its depths…

Is this perhaps the most gruesome fairytale, even for the Brothers Grimm? As far as macabre old stories go, is very much in the same vein as Bluebeard, although with a lot more murders in this murderous den!

The girl looked up and saw that the voice came from a bird hanging in a cage on the wall. Again it cried:

‘Turn back, turn back, young maiden fair,

Linger not in this murderers’ lair.’
