favorite fairy tales in recent memory. These twists on old
standards and adaptations breathe new life into these classic
stories. You’ll find yourself lost in the pages of this book, and
it will be well worth it when you come out on the other
side.”—Convergence Book Reviews
“An interesting mix of fairy tales with horror and dread sprinkled
through the stories. You won't think of your fondest fairy tales
without remembering what these authors thought up! . . . Give this
anthology a read”—Independent Online Booksellers Association
“Entertaining fairy tales for adults. . . . I liked it very, very
much.”—Lump Lit
“A fairy tale landscape beyond the literary craft workshop . . .
it’s about time that so-called “genre writers” claim their rightful
place around the fairy tale fire. After all, fantasy and sci-fi owe
much to the wonder of the fairy tale.”—Something to Read for the
TrainM
“A broad and varied collection . . . you will definitely find
something to enjoy.”—Unicorn Ramblings
“Exactly what it sets out to be - a compilation of fairy tales
retold for the modern generation. . . . I would recommend this
extremely long tome to anyone who is a fan of fairy tales and/or
horror stories.”—ATSP
