Panos G

They say old rhymes were made to teach,
To soothe, to warn, to gently reach.
But what if truths were buried deep,
And what they told was meant to creep?

The first book cracked the cradle wide.
This one… drags what’s left inside.
So hush now, child, and don’t ask why—
Just turn the page,
and say nothing.

Step beyond the nursery and into the night.

In Darkly Twisted Rhymes, classic childhood verses are reborn with razor edges and shadows that bite. These aren’t the tales you grew up with — they’re darker, sharper, and stitched with grim truths. From hungry dogs and haunted clocks to wise owls who know too much, each poem whispers a warning: innocence fades, and every rhyme has a price.

Paired with haunting illustrations, this collection invites you to read aloud by candlelight… if you dare.
