Books with title Once Upon a Nightmare

With so many children’s picture book stories, the magic’s in the wand, the wish, or the fairy god mother. But what if the magic existed somewhere much more powerful? What if the magic was in the mind? No, spells, no charms, no falling stars necessary to go beyond the limits of what’s ordinary and into the extraordinary; and all that’s required is the belief that you can. “Once Upon a Night" takes the magic and turns it into something better. It tells the story of a mother settling down with her son at bedtime, only this time she’s decided to tell him a different sort of bedtime story, one that doesn’t come from any book he’s ever read before; in fact, this tale, about a group of people who have a very special ability doesn’t come from any sort of book at all. This tale, it turns out, has never been written. And this one is real.

"'Why am I dreaming this dream over and over,' said Johnny. 'Haven't I been a good little boy?'" Johnny didn't like living in his father's castle because of the horrid past of torture chambers that claimed so many of the townspeople. The Wellington's, who lived for hundreds of years in the castle before Johnny, were a very greedy royal family who liked to throw big ballroom parties - especially masquerade parties. Sir Jonathan Wellington, the owner of the castle, would make sure everyone at the party had plenty to drink and a good time with dancing and loud music to cover up the screams down in his chamber of horrors, because he didn't want anyone at the party to suspect a thing. Sir Jonathan Wellington was very proud of his torture chamber and liked to brag about it to his guests at his parties. The Castle would ultimately claim the life of poor little Johnny. No one could save him, not even his father.
