There is a moment in every creative journey when a world stops being an idea and becomes something real. Oddly Grimm has reached that moment.


I am pleased to announce that Oddly Grimm Volume I will launch on 31 October 2026.


This first volume brings together the tales that open the door into the Oddly Grimm universe — stories with roots that stretch back through folklore, and new originals that belong only here. It marks the beginning of a world where familiar shapes hide unfamiliar truths, and where every tale adds another thread to the tapestry.


In the weeks leading up to the launch, more glimpses into the Oddly Grimm universe will appear.


Hints.

Images.

Moments that reveal how Oddly Grimm is built, why its imagery matters, and how readers can interact with the world beyond the page.


There will also be opportunities to take part in shaping the universe — through website polls, Instagram interactions, and small choices that help guide future stories and reveal hidden details.


For now, the date is set.


The first volume is ready.



And the world of Oddly Grimm is about to open its doors.
