Dark Softly Tales

This week our story takes a turn as the fisherman's heartless soul takes a journey through many marvelous lands. It enters the temple of a priest and demands to see God or else... Join Dark Softly Tales in Part Two of The Fisherman and His Soul.

Music: Deep Woods by Lilo Sound

A fisherman hoping to score a few fish in his nets, catches a beautiful mermaid instead. In order to marry her, he must get rid of his soul. By asking how to get rid of his soul, many other questions arise: why does a soul matter if you can't see it or touch or if you do not know it? The fisherman goes on a quest and meets a priest, a witch and even the devil himself... Oscar Wilde takes on quite the adventure in The Fisherman and His Soul.

This is the first in four part series.

Hey Everyone!

So I.... accidentally deleted this week's episode and couldn't retrieve the file. That means no story this week! Dark Softly Tales is growing which is a good thing, but also means growing pains...this week is definitely a growing pain. Thank you for your patience and we will be back next week!

A frosty maid taunts a warrior after a long fought battle. He chases her to where her ice giant brothers are waiting... yes, this is a Conan the Barbarian story called The Frost Giant's Daughter by Robert E Howard.

There is no doubt that Nature is a seductress, luring souls through our senses and instincts. Blackwood takes this a step further, giving Nature a haunting and irresistible human form through The Glamour of the Snow. This will easily be one of the most beautiful and terrifying stories you’ve ever heard.

This episode will be the longest to date as this story was too beautiful to break up into parts, and I wanted to have a two week break for the holidays. I will be back on January 10th, 2022!

Enjoy! Happy Holidays, everyone!
