Today's episode features a tale about a king who cares way too much about a tree, a gnome who loves beating people up for no reason, and three sisters who risk their lives for a bite of an apple (not even in the top 10 most delicious fruits, in my opinion). This tale continues our journey through the hilariously dark and brutal original versions of Grimm's Fairy Tales. Dive on into this week's story session!

Welcome to the dark, strange, hilarious world of The ShadowBear Story Sessions.
Each week host Zach Stewart digs into the dark, twisted, brutal original versions of the folk tales, fairy tales, myths, and legends that laid the foundation for all the movies, TV, and other stories we know and love today. These aren't the watered-down family-friendly fairy tales you know. These are the grisly originals in all their glory.
