Start Here
Welcome!
If you’re new to The Fable Keeper, here’s what you need to know:
Every week, we send out a story. Sometimes it’s a fable you haven’t heard since childhood. Sometimes it’s a myth that never made sense—until now. We don’t just retell these stories. We try to make them feel like they were written for this moment, for people like us.
You’ll find stories about grief. About courage. About why we screw things up and how we try again.
Some are short. Some are sharp. Some are soft in the right places.
But all of them are true in the ways that fiction should be.
