“Have you ever played Chinese Whispers?... The stories in this book don’t belong to me. I’m just one of the whisperers. I don’t know who started the game. I know that it began long ago, when birds would make their nests in old men’s beards. I don’t know if anything of the original whisper has survived. I do know that people don’t remember boring stories.”
Daniel Morden, Weird Tales from the Storyteller
“Gruesome, fantastical, and hypnotic, Morden’s stories show why the fairy world will never lose its power over our imaginations.”
The Times
“A master storyteller.”
The Guardian
