Up the Down Beanstalk: Fairytale Anthology #6
Releasing May 1st, 2026 from Ye Olde Dragon Books
Ever wondered if there was more to the old fairytale of Jack and the Beanstalk? Or what might have happened afterward? Or if the giants were really the bad guys? Then, you'll probably enjoy this collection of short stories featuring fun, scary, and unique takes on the legendary tale.
*Jessica's contribution is called "The Glowing Bean." It loosely ties into her stories published in The Invisible Files: Classic Monsters Anthology #4 and Once Bitten...: Classic Monsters Anthology #5. Any guesses as to the returning characters?
*If you buy a paperback on Amazon NOW, you save $2. So, rather than paying full price, $15.99, you'll be paying $13.99!
