Sometimes happily ever after just means surviving...
Nine fairy tales reimagined within the worlds of horror, history and mythology.
What if the Wicked Queen fell in love with Snow White? Or if Sleeping Beauty's curse came with a beast? And how far would someone go to avenge their family or escape to freedom?
Gone are the damsels in distress and the heroic princes, this is the grim world of folklore where monsters roam or a princess can be the champion of her own fate. No one is coming to save these characters, but they'll fight their way out of madness and terror or die trying.
This book upturns your favourite tales and retells them with a horror spin, weaving them into such diverse historical settings as feudal Japan, the ancient Roman Empire, and Celtic Ireland.
Fairy Tales and Nightmares is an electrifying collection that harkens back to fairy tale origins and will haunt your dreams.
