Fabled Collective explores mysteries, legends, myths, lore, ghosts, and fairy tales. Investigation of these tales of woe often reveal grim details that have been long hidden in the dark corners of history. In the podcast, we mix both fact and fiction. We’ll tell you a story, and then we’ll tell you the truth. And to be perfectly honest, sometimes even our best fiction isn’t as riveting as the facts.
In our books and audiobooks, you’ll find fiction stories similar to those on the podcast. From dark fantasy to myths and legends, there’s a book for you.
Our journal is filled with articles ranging from creepy history to creative living. We strive to bring a little magic and mystery to your life.
The genuineness of a true fairy tale is best confirmed by the difficulty in creating an original one.
