Bedtime Storytelling

Make sure the kids aren’t around! Just because you’re a grown-up doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the art of the children’s bedtime story. Nick Offerman presents this collection of 12 short stories written in the style of a classic kids' tale, but with a decidedly dark and adult approach. What really happened after Snow White died, from the perspective of the one medically trained dwarf? A naive wizard professor reports back from the trenches of an underprivileged school of magic. And much more!

The fire is lit. The broth is warm. There is nothing you need to do. A small boat crosses open water in the fading light and leaves you on a dock at the edge of a quiet island. Up a grassy slope, through wild thyme and salt wind, a stone cottage is waiting — candles burning in the windows, woodsmoke curling from the chimney, and a note on the kitchen table in a friend's familiar handwriting: Everything is ready. There's nothing you need to do. Rest. Inside, the thick stone walls hold hours of stored warmth. A pot of golden broth simmers on the stove. A deep sofa faces a steady fire. And ...

A warm stone path. Bare feet. Rosemary on your fingertips. There is nowhere to be but here. It is the last days of August in the hills of southern Tuscany. The sun is low and golden, the air perfectly still, and behind a stone farmhouse, a small herb garden is waiting — basil heavy with leaf, tomatoes warm on the vine, sage soft as felt beneath your hand. You pick what you need, slowly, without hurry. You carry it inside. You slice tomatoes onto a wooden board, pour olive oil from a dark glass bottle, tear bread with your hands, and eat alone at a table by the window while the sky turns ...

Your legs know before you do that the day is finished. And the mountain has been holding something warm for you. A long autumn walk is ending. The trail descends through old-growth pine, the air sharp with resin and cold. Your pack is heavy on your shoulders, your calves ache with the honest tiredness of distance, and the light is fading through the canopy in soft amber shafts. Then you see the steam — pale columns rising through the trees, catching the last pink light of the western sky. A natural hot spring, cradled between mossy boulders in a quiet fold of the forest, with water that ...

A box has been waiting in your hallway for nine days. Tonight, you finally open it. Inside, folded with care and scented with lavender, is a quilt your grandmother made — not in her colors but in yours. Soft blues, warm greys, a dusty rose. Beneath it, a letter in her familiar handwriting. And in the letter, the words you didn't know you'd been waiting your whole life to hear: You don't need to try so hard. You are enough. You can rest now. Outside, the first snow of the season falls past the window in silence. The radiator clicks beneath the sill. A clock keeps its steady, unhurried time...
