The glossy veneer of happily ever after has fooled readers into believing fairy tales are bright and happy stories;, but if you scratch the surface of any story collected by the Brothers Grimm, it bleeds. Manipulation and Murder, Tension and Torture. Grimm Retold cracks open the horror splattered between the pages of the old stories to reveal the thriving darkness within these classic tales.

Twenty stories and poems, from twenty authors, retell classic fairy tales; their teeth on the anxious pulse that has always flickered from the hearts of Grimm's collections.

Rapunzel, Snow White, Cinderella The Elves and the Shoemaker, The Fisherman's Wife, The Robber Bridegroom, Red Riding Hood, The Old Beggar Woman, Hansel and Gretel, The Girl with No Hands, The Willful Child, The Pied Piper, The Nixie of the Mill Pond, Blue Beard, Twelve Dancing Princesses, The Crystal Ball, The Juniper Tree, The Frog Prince, Fitcher's Bird, and Rumpelstiltskin.

With stories from Tanith Lee, Ef Deal, Carol Gyzander, Tiffany Morris
