Once Upon an Asylum
Thirteen fairy tales reimagined through the case notes of DR. Imogen Vane.
“Patient claims to remember a wolf. There was no wolf.”
Behind the ivy-choked walls of Thornmere Asylum, thirteen patients insist their fairy tales were not stories at all, but memories. As part of her revolutionary narrative-elicitation therapy, Dr. Imogen Vane records their accounts—one by one—blurring the line between delusion and truth.
These are not the tales you were told as a child. These are the ones remembered in the dark.
Meet Dr. Vane
Dr. Imogen Vane is a psychiatrist practicing at Thornmere Asylum in 1927.
She believes that every delusion is a story waiting to be heard—uninterrupted, uncensored, in the patient’s own words.
Her case notes were never meant for publication.
Perhaps that is why they read more like a confession.
The Collection
“The stories they tell are not the problem.
The problem is what listens when they are told.”
— Dr. Imogen Vane
Some tales are still being written. A peek into the case files, the pact, and the pages still taking shape across Undine Grimoires' fiction — before they're ready to be read in full.
