Enter the delightfully irreverent world of Grimsworld Tales, a collection of lighthearted short stories by award-winning author David Hankins. Tales to make you laugh, to make you cry, and perhaps to make you take up arms against a sea of troubles. And by opposing, end them.
To die, to sleep...
Wait, that's Hamlet. My bad.
Grimsworld Tales centers around Death, the Grim Reaper, terror of men's souls. You know the guy: shiny skull, scythe, likes wearing black. If not, you'll meet him in the story "Death and the Taxman," the original award-winning short story that grew into the Grimsworld series of novels.
Through it all, Grim often finds himself surrounded by unlikely allies and terrifying foes. These are their stories. The origins of those whom Death would call his friends. Those who would stand by his side against enemies hellbent on stopping Grim in his endless quest to shepherd humanity's souls.
Welcome to Grimsworld.

David Hankins
David Hankins is an award-winning author who writes from the thriving cornfields of Iowa where he lives with his wife, daughter, and two dragons disguised as cats. His writing journey began in the oral tradition of convincing his daughter to Go To Sleep with inventive stories. That usually backfired. After years of Just One More Story, David began transcribing his midnight ramblings in an attempt to keep his storylines straight. Children are ruthless in identifying mistakes in fairy tales. David writes lighthearted speculative fiction because that's what he loves to read and-this is the important bit-there's not nearly enough humor in the world. He aims to change that, one story at a time. David devotes his time to his passions of writing, traveling, and finding new ways to pay his mortgage. You can find him at https: //davidhankins.com
