This series started, first and foremost, as a joke — What would happen if a vampire and a werewolf became best friends? The vampire just wandering into a room with a blood pack, sipping from it like it’s a Capri Sun, like, “…Sup?”

Multiple books, many illustrations, and countless sleepless nights later, The Night Garden has turned into an epic series of tales. The topics within involve losing your place, finding it, feeling as if you’ve failed, fighting wars, losing faith in dreams, being kind to one another, and ultimately realizing a literal village of support is behind you.

Tales From The Night Garden is an epic exploration of monsters finding out what makes you human.
