The Splintering Boy
A folk horror reimagining of Pinocchio-haunted by grief, shaped from cursed wood, and hungry for truth it can devour.
In a quiet village forgotten by time, Geppetto-a grieving father and master woodcarver-defies nature to carve a replica of the son he lost. But the wood he chooses is not ordinary. It's cut from the Gallows Pine, a cursed tree that once hanged a sorcerer whose dying breath seeded it with a terrible promise: to give sorrow a shape.
What rises from the carving bench is no innocent puppet. It moves on its own. It lies-and the world bends to believe it. As Geppetto's creation explores the village, it begins to infect reality with its mimicry: reshaping memory, bending perception, and unraveling the fabric of truth itself.
This is not the story you remember. This is the splintered, bone-deep nightmare beneath the fairy tale.
Perfect for fans of atmospheric horror, folk curses, and psychological descent.
