Story spotlight: “The Wishing Ring of Old Queen Maab” by Steve Vernon


A tale about a very young farmer named Ramsey who, although his heart was as good as one million pieces of gold, had not a single ounce of good luck to his name except his beloved wife Glorinda.
 
One day an old woman appeared, her face as wrinkled as a field filled with dried-up mud. In return for a kindness Ramsey did, she told him she was Queen Maab of the Faeries, and gave him a wish ring.
 
But gifts from faeries are more complicated than those from humans…
 
 
“The Wishing Ring of Old Queen Maab” is in The Faerie Summer bundle. You can learn more on BundleRabbit, Goodreads, and the bundle’s Facebook page.

About the Author

Steve is a writer and an oral tradition storyteller; he learned the storytelling tradition from his grandfather, and regularly tells stories to in-person audiences ranging from 5 to 5,000 spectators. He writes horror, paranormal, dark fantasy, and ghost stories, and specializes in the fine old art of booga-booga.

Think of Steve as that old dude at the campfire spinning out ghost stories and weird adventures and the grand epic saga of how Thud the Second stepped out of his cave with nothing more than a rock in his fist and slew the saber-tooth tiger.
