Raven’s Rhymes Reborn -Nursery Rhymes and Fables for the Emotionally Detached
“Raven’s Rhymes Reborn”- Nursery Rhymes and Fables for the Emotionally Detached, is a darkly satirical and psychologically rich examination of classic nursery rhymes, retold for the inquisitive and unflinchingly curious mind.
It’s for the adults who always suspected there was more to the rhyme than met the ear. Each chapter conducts a literary autopsy of a well-known rhyme—first through a critical and humorous breakdown of its origins, meanings, and the truths it tries to bury. Then, in “Raven’s Re-Writes,” I offer a bold, illustrated, modern retelling—unfiltered, unsentimental, and surgically honest.
I believe this manuscript will resonate with readers who appreciate authors like Lemony Snicket, Neil Gaiman, or Roald Dahl at his darkest. It combines cultural analysis, dark humor, and a hint of irreverent parenting insight in a format that is as entertaining as it is enlightening.
