About Lullacide
Remember when fairy tales were actually terrifying? When the Big Bad Wolf ate grandma, when the witch shoved children into ovens, when the stepsisters cut off their own toes? Children's stories used to be dark. Really dark. And then somewhere along the way, we sanitized them.
Lullacide goes in the other direction. We take real stories of real monsters and tell them in the gentle, lilting voice of a bedtime story. Simple words. Storybook illustrations. Terrible, terrible people.
Why?
Because duality is interesting. Because horror wrapped in innocence hits different than horror wrapped in horror. Because these stories are part of our cultural history, and sometimes the most unsettling way to confront them is with a soft voice and a picture book.
The Format
Each story is five pages long, illustrated in a unique art style chosen to complement the era and mood of the case. Beneath each page of the "children's story," you'll find the real facts: who, what, when, and how it all ended.
Who Makes This?
Lullacide is an independent project. We make things that are interesting, a little weird, and hopefully worth your time.
