The Carnivorous Candy Factory by L. Lestrange
(Fairytales of the Damned, Book 1)

The dark fairytale that will make you think twice about second chances — and bad parents.

Walter W. Wickedsnap once made joy. Now he makes monsters. Inside the Carnivorous Candy Factory, bad parents don't get second chances — they get rooms. Rooms that bite back. Stretchers. Boilers. Carousels that spin you into bloody confessions.

Nine sins. Nine punishments. And the children? They're watching.

Welcome to the factory. Don't mind the screams. That's just the fudge boiling.

L. Lestrange delivers a visceral, twisted dark fairytale that takes the whimsy of Willy Wonka and drags it through something far more sinister — a story about accountability, cruelty, and the justice that mainstream fairy tales never quite deliver.

Why readers can't look away:

• 🎭 A candy factory that punishes the wicked — nine sins, nine rooms, nine fates
• 🖤 Dark fairytale horror at its most inventive and unapologetic
• 👀 The children are watching. And they remember everything.
• 🧨 Splatterpunk meets fairytale — visceral, sharp, and impossible to forget
• 📖 102 pages of pure, concentrated darkness

Perfect for readers who love:

But what stood out wasn't the gore.

It was the themes underneath.

🖤 The Punishment That Fits the Crime
🖤 Children Who See What Adults Pretend Isn't There
🖤 Joy Twisted Into Something That Bites Back
🖤 Accountability in a World That Rarely Delivers It
🖤 The Darkness Hidden Inside Sweetness
🖤 What Happens When the Monsters Are the Parents

At Dark Rose, we believe stories are often about far more than their plot.

You may never find yourself inside a factory where the carousel confesses your sins and the fudge boiler has opinions.

But you may know what it feels like to watch someone cause harm and face no consequences — or to be the child in the room who sees everything and is told to look away.
